Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HS Special Weymouth different from a standard Weymouth bit?
The HS Special Weymouth features a port that is angled forward by 30 degrees, which reduces tongue pressure. This makes it particularly suitable for horses that are irritated or uncomfortable when the tongue feels cramped by a conventional bit.
What is the port height on this Weymouth?
The port is described as medium high and widened, designed to relieve tongue pressure while still providing the leverage action associated with a Weymouth bit.
How long are the cheeks on this bit, and how does that affect the action?
The cheeks measure 7 cm, which increases poll pressure. The leverage effect is also slightly delayed compared to shorter-cheeked Weymouths.
How should I size the curb (canary/cavesson) when using this bit?
Because the horse's mouth is narrower where the curb strap sits, the curb should typically be chosen 0.5 to 1 cm smaller than the underlay. The side parts should sit close to the corners of the mouth.
At what angle should the curb chain be set?
The chin chain should be adjusted so that the bit can be brought to an angle of approximately 45 degrees when the reins are applied.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this Weymouth?
The mouthpiece is 16 mm thick.
