The bit range 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 Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimetres. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

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

Comparison 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

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 primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Cheekpiece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows the reins to be buckled in flexibly, achieving different strengths of leverage. The deeper the reins are buckled, the higher the effect on the bit and poll of the horse. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is recessed into the main ring.
