Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle loose ring single jointed with blocking function 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, Locked, 16mm, 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making 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-bloods, 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, Locked, 16mm, 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, Locked, 16mm, 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size of 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheek Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and a gag effect 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 pulling rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.

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 reverts to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
