Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Medium Port 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bradoon Medium Bar 16mm 14.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's labial 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, 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, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The range of bits 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 Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bradoon Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Bradoon Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

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

Cheek Piece

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 action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached in the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A 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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.
