The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Inno Sense Olive Head Weymouth Bradoon Flexi Soft 20mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Inno Sense Olive Head Weymouth Bradoon Flexi Soft 20mm 13.5 bit is made of plastic and features smaller sidepieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, meaning it's flexible. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
Bradoons for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit Material
Plastic
Food-grade plastic is used for bits, meaning no plasticizers are used and it is well-tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can slide easily in the mouth, even with low saliva production.

Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Sidepiece
Bradoon
The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single-jointed and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffle bits lies in the rings (e.g., olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to one cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed.
