A thinner version of a Nathe bit?

[kit279]

One of mine goes really well in a Nathe straight bar bit but I'm pretty sure that it is just a little too thick for his mouth - he is a TB and doesn't have a lot of space in his mouth. He tends to open his mouth a little working on the flat so I was wondering if there is a thinner version I can use.

Any suggestions?

The only suggestion is to buy a 12mm bit and wrap in latex.

There is no thinner synthetic bit that the nathe as the NS and sprenger versions are the same if not fatter. The other harder materials (happy mouth, applemouth and flexi) are generally fatter too.

I have a happy mouth snaffle which is double jointed (has a little revolving plastic lozenge in the very middle). It is very thin (and light as well). It wasn't expensive at all, less than £20 so might be worth a try.

The happy mouth straight bar is thinner than the nathe in general. My nathe is wider towards the bit rings than it is in the middle, but the plastic on the happy mouth is not as flexible as the Nathe.

Sprenger Duo comes in a thin version it's thinner than the nathe I have http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SPRENGER-DUO-L...5355205fc5d4ec1
