Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

The bit assortment 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 Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Side piece

2.5-ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage and lifting action in one bit, usually a little softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein applies the action of a short lever to the bit.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly puts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the 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.
