Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest 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.

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.

The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, i.e. a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. 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

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage and lifting action in one bit, yet is usually somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the rein. Buckled into the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that go against the hand.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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.
