Weymouth Round 75, Gavin Port

Shank length 7.5cm – thickness mouthpiece 16mm  (B16)

The Weymouth works on several parts of a horse’s head and mouth. The shanks add leverage, and place pressure on the poll via the poll strap of the bridle and to the chin groove via the curb chain. The mouthpiece is ported to give tongue relief.

Cheekpiece

The width of a Weymouth, should be slightly smaller than the bridoon, we suggest 5mm. The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard and a slightly smaller model for a pony. The standard size Weymouth has 2 length shanks. The longer shank allows for more hand movement and slows the leveraging of the pressure points.

Mouthpiece

The Gavin Port has a port creating space for the tongue, relieving some pressure. It is a strong bit which creates direct pressure on the bars.

Supplied with a curb chain.
