fitting of nathe tandem combination bit

[IncaCola]

Trying this bit on a mare that jumps well in a hackmore if a bit strong, but gets stressed with a bit. However on fitting have found that the noseband hackamore is very high for the bit to sit right. There are screws which could be alterered to make the bit sit higher but not sure if I should be adjusting these. I cannot any where find a 'Nathe Bits' web site which might help. Does anyone know it ar even better does anyone have any experience of the bit and can give some advice? Thanks

They do sit quite high on the nose, prob higher than a normal english hackamore.

Thanks for that. Did try it out today fitted high and reasonably successful. Whether I should have or not we loosened the side screws which allowed the bit to move along the shanks a bit. I am amazed that nathe has no web site or instructions of use; rather different than say the myler or mikmar bits which overload you with info. I also emailed the horse bit bank where I got it from and they couldn't help at all either. Considering the price they should come with some back up.
