Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, Blocking, 16mm, 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for a normal warmblood.

Side piece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows the reins to be buckled flexibly, achieving different leverage effects. The deeper the reins are buckled, 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

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single jointed mouthpiece, but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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