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 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Olive Head Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 14.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheekpiece

2.5 Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows for flexible attachment of the reins, resulting in varying degrees of leverage. The lower the reins are attached, the greater the effect on the bit and the horse's poll. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is integrated into the main ring.
