Product Description
Weymouth Snaffle Horse Bit Special Angle Copper (Cuprium)
The Special port 30 degrees forward angle designed to sit unobtrusively in the mouth this Weymouth offers broad space for horse tongue. Weymouth is an English leverage bit. Weymouth gives a good lifting action without upper palate interference. It sits properly and comfortably in the horse's mouth; the Special port lays down flat on the tongue with 30 degrees until the rein aids are used. depending on the rider how the reins are handled, the port may rotate up slightly. It shouldn’t rotate enough to press hard onto the palate of the horse’s mouth. Generally, they are to be used in more advanced riding, where the horse must be more responsive to the rider's aids. If misused then it tends to be very painful for the horse.
Weymouth are curb bits to be used in conjunction with a bridoon as part of the double bridle Weymouth.
