Sprenger NATHE Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm

Combine control, precision and consideration for your horse’s sensitive mouth with the NATHE Flexible Tandem Bit 20 mm, a technical bit particularly suited to sensitive horses that can become strong or require additional control during a course.

By distributing its action across several areas, the Tandem Bit acts simultaneously on the lower jaw, tongue and nose. This helps prevent all pressure from being concentrated solely in the mouth, allowing the rider to communicate more precisely while retaining a flexible mouthpiece suitable for sensitive horses.

Flexible 20 mm mouthpiece for enhanced comfort

The NATHE Tandem Bit features a flexible 20 mm mouthpiece, designed to provide comfortable contact in the horse’s mouth.

Its flexibility allows the mouthpiece to adapt more naturally to the horse’s mouth, making it particularly suitable for horses that are sensitive to metal or more rigid mouthpieces.

This design combines technical performance with the characteristic softness of NATHE bits.

Action distributed across multiple pressure points

One of the key features of the Tandem Bit is that its action is not concentrated entirely on a single area.

Depending on the chosen adjustment and configuration, the aids are distributed across the tongue, lower jaw and nose, providing a more comprehensive action.

This distribution can be particularly beneficial for horses that become strong, especially when jumping, while remaining sensitive in the mouth.

Greater control for strong horses

Some horses can be highly sensitive in the mouth while still becoming more difficult to control in certain situations, such as on the approach to a fence, during a course, when riding outdoors or when excitement levels increase.

The NATHE Flexible Tandem Bit has been designed to provide the rider with greater control and precision in these situations without concentrating all the pressure solely in the horse’s mouth.

It therefore offers an interesting alternative for riders looking for more comprehensive action while retaining the comfort of a flexible mouthpiece.

Different options for adjusting leverage

The action of the Tandem Bit can vary depending on how the reins are attached.

Different configurations provide varying degrees of leverage, allowing the action to be adapted to the horse’s individual needs and the level of control required.

The chosen setting should always be selected carefully: the greater the leverage, the more the rider’s rein aids can be amplified.

This versatility makes the bit particularly suitable for experienced riders with soft, sensitive hands.

High-quality NATHE thermoplastic material

NATHE mouthpieces are made from a high-quality thermoplastic material, specially valued for the comfort it provides in the horse’s mouth.

The material is hypoallergenic, temperature-resistant and dimensionally stable, allowing the bit to retain its shape and properties during use.

It is a particularly interesting option for horses that are uncomfortable with the feel of traditional metal bits.

Protection for the corners of the mouth

The bit is also equipped with side guards designed to help protect the sensitive corners of the horse’s mouth.

They reduce direct contact between the metal components and the sides of the mouth, providing additional protection against potential rubbing or pinching.

This design reflects NATHE’s approach of combining technical performance, control and horse comfort.

For riders with sensitive hands

Thanks to its action across several areas and the variable leverage provided by different rein attachments, the Tandem Bit allows precise communication with relatively subtle hand movements.

It is therefore particularly suitable for experienced riders with soft and sensitive hands, who can accurately regulate their aids and quickly release the pressure as soon as the horse responds.
