Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle French Link 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle French Bar 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. 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-bloods 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle French Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle French Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage and upward action in one bit, usually being slightly 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

Bar bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
