A Weymouth with a slanting, slightly curved mouthpiece and a forward-angled port, on the longer 7 cm cheek.
The mouthpiece shape spreads pressure evenly across the tongue and reduces the load on the tongue edges, which is where a conventional Weymouth concentrates it. The anatomical shaping helps the bit sit comfortably and encourages relaxed acceptance of the double bridle. Herm Sprenger builds it with a Sensogan mouthpiece and stainless steel cheeks.
Specifications:
- Slanting, slightly curved mouthpiece
- Forward-angled port
- Sensogan mouthpiece, stainless steel cheeks
- 5 inch, 12 mm
- 7 cm cheek
7 cm or 5 cm cheek:
The mouthpiece is identical. The cheek length sets the leverage. This 7 cm cheek is the longer of the two and gives the greater leverage effect, for a horse already established in a double bridle. The 5 cm cheek is the milder option and the one to start a young or sensitive horse on.
Why it is here:
Offering the same mouthpiece on two cheek lengths lets a rider change the leverage without changing what sits on the horse's tongue. That is the correct way to adjust a double bridle and it is rarer than it should be.
