Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lips. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test how much space there is between the tongue and palate with your fingers.

The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

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 rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling 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 plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and has flat edges. It mainly acts on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust 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.
