Product description
Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 11.5
The bit has a thickness of 20mm, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian assortment in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-Ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a mullen mouth. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheek Piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lift in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the giving rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
Mouthpiece
Mullen Mouth Bits
A mullen mouth is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A mullen mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
