Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle double jointed with copper rings 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle double jointed with copper rings 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle double jointed with copper rings 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

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 different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein applies the action of a short lever to the bit.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

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

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
