Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, which is Sprenger's proprietary alloy used in their HS range.
What is the mouthpiece diameter of this Weymouth bit?
The mouthpiece diameter is 16 mm.
Is this bit suitable for horses with a flat palatal arch?
Yes. The straight bar with a slight port is specifically noted as a good choice for horses with a flat palatal arch, as it avoids contact with the sensitive palate and distributes pressure evenly across the full tongue width.
How long are the cheeks on this Weymouth, and how does that affect the action?
The cheeks are 7 cm long. This creates higher poll pressure and means the leverage effect is slightly delayed compared to shorter-cheeked Weymouths.
Should I size the Weymouth the same as the snaffle when using it in a double bridle?
No. Because the horse's mouth is narrower where the Weymouth sits, it is generally recommended to choose the Weymouth 1/2 to 1 cm smaller than the bridoon (snaffle). The side parts should sit close to the corners of the mouth.
How should the curb chain be fitted with this bit?
The curb chain should be adjusted so that the Weymouth can rotate to approximately a 45-degree angle before the chain engages.
