Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5
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.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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 palate.
Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Cheek piece
3-ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and poll pressure in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
Mouthpiece
double-jointed
The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
