The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Inno Sense Olive Head Snaffle Bradoon Straight Bar Medium 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Inno Sense Olive Head Snaffle Bradoon Straight Bar Medium 20mm 14.5 is made of plastic and equipped with 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 medium, meaning slightly flexible. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Bradoons for weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions 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, which means 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 little saliva flow.

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 from other snaffles 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 a full cm larger than the weymouth bit, as the weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed.
