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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, meaning a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways the reins can be attached. 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
Dr. Bristol
The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a lesser angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.
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.
