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

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes 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, draught horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 development 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 Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size 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 lifting action in one bit, but is usually 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

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.
