Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Double-Jointed 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron Bit 2.5-Ring Double-Jointed 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Bit 2.5-Ring Double-Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Bit 2.5-Ring Double-Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

3-ring

The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral limitation, leverage, and elevating effect in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein that takes up contact exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
