This Bemelmanns Weymouth bit enables particularly sensitive and refined aids, meeting the highest standards. Thanks to its optimal adaptation to the horse’s mouth, it encourages the horse to confidently seek the contact. The Weymouth features smooth transitions, and the mouthpiece—designed to follow the shape of the sensitive palatal arch—tapers towards the centre.

The high and forward-angled port creates space for thick tongues. Once accepted, this special shape ensures an even and soft distribution of pressure across the tongue. This makes the Weymouth ideal for horses with fleshy, thick tongues as well as for sensitive horses that tend to evade tongue pressure by lifting or sticking out the tongue. Due to the longer shanks, the effect sets in slightly later compared to shorter shanks. At the same time, more pressure can be applied to the poll when needed.

The horse’s mouth is generally slightly narrower where the Weymouth sits. It is recommended to choose the Weymouth 0.5 to 1 cm smaller than the bradoon. It is important that the side pieces sit close to the corners of the mouth. If there is too much space between the mouth corner and the side piece, the Weymouth may become unstable or tilt.

The curb chain should be adjusted so that an angle of approximately 30 to 45 degrees is formed between the horse’s mouth opening and the lower shank.
