Bit Range from Waldhausen:
More Quality, Modern Design, Perfect Fit
The Waldhausen bit range impresses with modern anatomical shapes, clearly defined bit thicknesses, and high-quality materials. With thicknesses from 14 mm up to size 12.5 cm and 16 mm from 13.5 cm, it offers a modern, horse-friendly solution for different mouth sizes.
Classic
Allrounder: Classic snaffle with loose / continuous rings that applies direct pressure on the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth; very common, relatively “soft,” and therefore often suitable for training and everyday use. Loose rings allow the rein aids to be transmitted gently through slight movement of the ring.
Anatomical
The anatomical snaffle is also a snaffle, but the mouthpiece is specially shaped to better fit the horse’s natural mouth shape. This distributes pressure more evenly over the tongue and bars, and the effect follows the shape of the horse’s mouth – which many horses find more comfortable.
Lock-Up
A lock-up bit combines elements of a double-jointed snaffle with a special mechanism. Under stronger rein pressure or the horse’s resistance, it behaves more like a straight bar, creating more even pressure distribution. As soon as the horse yields, this effect is immediately released.
Stainless Steel Series
Stainless Steel Bits – Economic
The Economic stainless steel bits are available in 16 mm and as pony bits in 14 mm – providing a comfortable mouthfeel at the usual attractive entry-level price.
