Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. So it is rather a 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 need 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double broken. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side piece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows for flexible buckling of the reins, achieving different leverage effects. The deeper you buckle the reins, the greater the effect on the bit and the horse's poll. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is embedded in the main ring.

Mouthpiece

double broken

A double-broken mouthpiece is a very common 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. This bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-broken bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-broken bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
