Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, Sprenger's specialist alloy used in their HS range.
What is the port design on this Weymouth and why does it matter?
The mouthpiece features a straight bar with a slight port. This design means there is no contact with the sensitive palate, and pressure is distributed steadily and evenly across the entire tongue width, including the centre and edges. It is described as a good choice for horses with a flat palatal arch.
How does the 5 cm cheek length affect the action of this bit?
The shorter 5 cm cheeks mean the leverage effect sets in more directly and quickly compared to longer cheeks. Because the poll pressure occurs faster, a sensitive rider's hand is noted as necessary when using this bit.
How should the curb chain be fitted with this Weymouth?
The curb chain should be adjusted so that the shank can be brought to an angle of approximately 45 degrees before the chain engages.
Should I size this Weymouth the same as a snaffle?
No. Where the bit sits in the mouth it is narrower, so the Weymouth should generally be chosen 1/2 to 1 cm smaller than the equivalent snaffle or bridoon size. The side cheeks should sit close to the corners of the mouth.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this bit?
The mouthpiece is 16 mm in diameter.
