Weymouth Bit FC, 16mm, Stainless St.

This FC special Weymouth bit is particularly recommended for horses with thick tongues and a low palatal arch. The flat, widened port creates space for thick tongues while at the same time protecting the sensitive palate. Due to the longer shanks, the effect sets in slightly later compared to shorter shanks. At the same time, more pressure can be applied to the poll when needed.

The horse’s mouth is generally slightly narrower where the Weymouth sits. It is recommended to choose the Weymouth 0.5 to 1 cm smaller than the bradoon. It is important that the side pieces sit close to the corners of the mouth. If there is too much space between the mouth corner and the side piece, the Weymouth may become unstable or tilt.

The curb chain should be adjusted so that an angle of approximately 30 to 45 degrees is formed between the horse’s mouth opening and the lower shank.

Features:

• With low, wide port
• Offers space for large tongues
• Protects the sensitive palate, ideal for horses with a flat palatal arch
• Poll pressure is stronger due to longer cheeks, leverage effect is slightly delayed compared to shorter cheeks
