HO Weymouth Bit – 5cm/12 Mm

A weymouth bit made of Sensogan from Herm. Sprenger.

This popular HO Weymouth bit is now available with a 12 mm thick mouthpiece that takes up even less space in the horse’s mouth. HO Weymouth fits the sensitive horse and is perfect for introducing the inexperienced horse with a weymouth bit. The shape of the mouthpiece takes advantage of the horse’s sensitivity and therefore also promotes better contact between the rider and the horse. The popular weymouth bit HO has now been made in a 12 mm thick mouthpiece, which means that this narrow weymouth bit takes up even less space in the horse’s mouth. Today’s research work on horse mouths shows that there is not much space there and that is why Sprenger has made this HO weymouth bit so narrow. 

Sprenger’s weymouth bit is available 5 or 7 cm long shanks. The shorter shanks gives a more direct contact and the longer ones becomes sharper. Sensogan which is the material that the bit is made of is Sprenger’s latest material made of copper, manganese and zinc for reduced oxidation and better well-being.

As the horse’s mouth narrows downwards and the bridoon bit is placed below the weymouth bit, Sprenger recommends that the weymouth bit should be 0.5 to 1 cm shorter than the bridoon and that the shanks of the weymouth bit should be close to the horse’s mouth for best stability and impact.
