Nathe Bit – Gentle Comfort for Everyday Riding

If you're a UK horse owner or rider looking for a kinder, more comfortable bit, the Nathe bit is a trusted choice. Crafted with care in Germany, these bits are made from soft, high-grade thermoplastic—providing a warm, flexible feel your horse will accept willingly. Designed to reduce pressure and enhance communication, Nathe horse bits help everyday riders achieve calm, consistent contact.

Why Choose Nathe Horse Bits?

  • Ultra-Gentle on the Mouth: The smooth plastic mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, making it ideal for sensitive, green, or anxious horses.

  • Non-Toxic & Hypoallergenic: Made from solvent-free, food-safe materials with a stainless steel core, these bits are safe for even the most reactive mouths.

  • Reliable in All Weathers: Thermoplastic maintains a neutral temperature, offering consistent comfort through frosty hacks or warm summer schools.

  • Engineered to Last: Every metal component is crafted by Sprenger, world-renowned for their precision-made, German-quality horse bits.

Trusted by Everyday Riders

Whether you’re schooling at home, enjoying weekend hacks, or heading out to your next local show, a Nathe bit helps your horse stay relaxed, focused, and responsive. The soft feel gives clear aids without harshness, helping to build trust and better communication in every ride.

Ideal for:

  • Young or recently backed horses

  • Sensitive or fussy mouthed horses

  • Transitioning from stronger bits

  • Winter riding when metal bits feel cold

Choosing the Right Nathe Bit

  1. Know Your Horse’s Needs: Sensitive types benefit from mullen or straight bars; overactive tongues may prefer a low port.

  2. Select Your Cheek Style: Choose a loose ring snaffle for movement and salivation, or a fixed cheek snaffle for a more stable feel.

  3. Pick the Right Size: Nathe bits are available in 125mm, 135mm, and 145mm—measure your horse’s mouth width for a comfortable fit.

  4. Consider Control Needs: For stronger horses or more technical work, explore pelhams and kimblewicks or gag bits in a Nathe design.

How to Care for Your Nathe Bit

  • Clean after each use with mild soap and water to preserve material quality.

  • Check regularly for wear—thermoplastic is soft and may show bite marks over time.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend lifespan.
