Part of the Aster Helix collection, the Settle Full Titanium Weymouth has been developed specifically for horses that struggle with the weight, bulk or intensity of a conventional double bridle. Every element has been designed around reducing unnecessary material within the mouth while creating a softer, more considered interaction between the tongue, bars and curb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than creating an unnecessarily focal bearing point over the bars, the profile is designed to create a broader, more progressive interface through the tongue. This can be particularly valuable for sensitive horses that react strongly to concentrated bar pressure by over-flexing, withdrawing from the contact, becoming tense through the jaw or reacting disproportionately to relatively small curb aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed entirely from titanium, including the mouthpiece and cheeks, Settle is exceptionally lightweight and refined. This reduction in weight and bulk is particularly important within a double bridle, where the horse must accommodate both a bradoon and Weymouth simultaneously. The 75mm Long Shank provides increased leverage compared with the Short Shank version, allowing the rider to achieve a more influential curb action through small, considered aids while retaining the lightweight and refined character of the Helix design. This makes the Long Shank particularly useful for horses that require greater refinement or influence from the curb but remain sensitive to excessive weight, bulk or concentrated mouthpiece pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSettle is designed for the horse to remain soft, forward and receptive to the rider rather than feeling the need to react away from the curb. The aim is not to make the horse less responsive, but to create an environment in which subtle aids can remain subtle — allowing the horse to respond rather than overreact. Settle was developed particularly with the ultra-sensitive horse in mind, including horses with small mouths, limited intraoral space, previous oral or jaw sensitivity, and those that have struggled to comfortably accept conventional double bridle combinations. Paired with the Helix Bradoon range, the result is an exceptionally lightweight double designed around the anatomy and sensitivity of the individual horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAY PARTICULARLY SUIT HORSES THAT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Have an ultra-sensitive mouth and react strongly to conventional Weymouths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Have a small mouth or limited space available for two bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Struggle to comfortably accommodate the weight or bulk of a conventional double bridle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Are particularly sensitive to concentrated pressure over the bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Tend to over-flex, shorten the neck or retreat behind the contact when the curb is introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Become tense, apprehensive or defensive in a conventional double.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Overreact to relatively small curb aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Need encouragement to remain forward and work into the bridle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Benefit from a more tongue-led Weymouth profile with greater consideration around the bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Require greater curb influence than the Short Shank Settle while remaining sensitive to stronger or bulkier mouthpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Benefit from the rider being able to communicate with smaller, more refined curb aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Have previously struggled to settle into a consistent double-bridle contact. • Have a history of oral or jaw sensitivity where a low-bulk, carefully considered set-up is appropriate following professional assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Benefit from an exceptionally lightweight Weymouth alongside an equally refined bradoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESIGN FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Part of the specialist Aster Helix collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Entire bit constructed from titanium, including mouthpiece and cheeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Exceptionally lightweight and refined construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 75mm Long Shank providing increased leverage compared with the Short Shank version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Gently curved anatomical mouthpiece profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Low, relatively narrow port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed to create a predominantly tongue-led interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Profile designed to provide greater clearance around the bars and avoid unnecessarily focal bar pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Refined proportions designed to minimise bulk within the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Developed specifically for ultra-sensitive horses and those that struggle to accommodate conventional doubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed to pair with the Aster Helix Full Titanium Bradoon range. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aster","offers":[{"title":"105mm","offer_id":56795932000596,"sku":"SET-AT-105-W75","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"115mm","offer_id":56795932033364,"sku":"SET-AT-115-W75","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125mm","offer_id":56795932066132,"sku":"SET-AT-125-W75","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":56795932098900,"sku":"SET-AT-135-W75","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":56795932131668,"sku":"SET-AT-145-W75","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3453\/9348\/files\/longer_2.png?v=1786687434","url":"https:\/\/asterhorse.com\/products\/aster-settle-all-titanium-weymouth-long-shank","provider":"Aster bits ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
