Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle 16mm Mouthpiece 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. 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, cold-blooded 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, consider 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 yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

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

Sidepiece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, while usually being somewhat 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 taking rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight 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.
