Medieval Viking Bit "Thor"

Medieval Viking Bit "Thor"

Are you looking for a tougher bit that immediately gives a medieval or viking feel to your tack?

Bits like this were already used by the Vikings! And not surprising: a full cheek snaffle is very stable in the mouth, and the pressure is not only distributed in the mouth, but also over the cheeks. The Vikings also liked to ride without a noseband, and a full cheeck ensures that the bit cannot be pulled through the mouth.

Also not unimportant: the full cheek provides a wonderful opportunity to make the whole bit a little extra! And that's exactly what this bit has. Although it is not large and dominant, the mustache has a tough shape that reminds you of a lightning bolt.. you almost feel like you are among the Norse gods.

Maybe you like to imagine yourself in the Viking age and want a bit that fits your equipment, but even if you don't see yourself galloping across the fields with a sword at the ready, this is for you: it can give any type of bridle just that little bit give extra.
