Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit, single-jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, 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 pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
