The Trust Equestrian bit range 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 Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's labial area. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

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.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Sidepiece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and poll pressure in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of influence is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
