Informed Designs Confidence Weymouth

The Confidence allows the Horse more tongue room in the centre of the bit and the generous forward curve to the bar of the mouthpiece allows for jaw and tongue room behind the bit and as a non jointed bit has no pinch or collapse to the signal. As the reins are used together the whole mouthpiece is pulled backwards onto the tongue evenly pressing the tongue down into the lower jaw until it reaches the bars of the mouth, the tongue has plenty of room to move up and fill the space created by the port.

Very useful for Horses or Ponies that are:

• Just going into a Double Bridle
• or Have been in a very restrictive Weymouth and dont want to go forward
• or are very busy in the mouth

The Weymouth Cheek designed to work on three balanced pressures as the reins are used the Horse feels downward mouth pressure poll pressure and then these two pressures are balanced out by the chain or jaw strap moving onto the jaw to stop the first two pressures from over riding each other. It is crucial that the curb chain is set well so that the shank of the Weymouth only turns to about 45% and then the chain snugly tucks onto the jaw. Too tight and the Horse gets no release or reward and too loose and the pressures are unbalanced and the Horse will have to resist to escape. The correct mouthpiece should encourage the Horse forward into the contact and the three pressures control head frame, weight transferral and are your brakes! It is really important that the cheeks are the right length if they have been constructed poorly and not in balance then the bit simply does not work

The Confidence Weymouth works best if the horse is young or going into a Double for the first time or has been restricted in a previous Double Bridle set and lifts its tongue away from the action coupled with the Harmony Loose Ring or a Harmony Eggbutt or if the Horse is a little stronger with the Precision Loose Ring
