Frequently Asked Questions
What type of port does this Sprenger Weymouth bit have, and why does it matter?
This Weymouth features a low, wide port design. This shape offers broad space for the tongue and is intended to protect the sensitive palate, making it particularly suited to horses with a flat palatal arch.
How does the longer cheek length affect the action of this Weymouth bit?
The longer cheeks increase poll pressure and slightly delay the leverage effect, which can give the rider a more gradual rein response compared to shorter-cheeked Weymouth designs.
How should the curb chain be fitted with this bit?
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 the Weymouth the same as the snaffle when using 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 of the Weymouth should sit close to the corners of the mouth.
What material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from stainless steel.
