The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 Ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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.

When choosing 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. This makes horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
