The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

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

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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.

Cheekpiece

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. Attached in the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
