The Trust Equestrian bit range 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 Snaffle Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimetres. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.
Bit thickness
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Reference 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.

Mouthpiece
Straight bar bits
A straight 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.
Cheekpiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and elevating action in one bit. The degree of action is selected by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein applying pressure exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to a leverage action.
