Product description
Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit Single-Jointed Locked
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's 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-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit Single-Jointed Locked from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Bit Single-Jointed Locked is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are picked up.
Bit Thickness
Cheek Piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is selected by the different attachment options for the reins. When buckled in the lower ring, the picking-up 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
Locked
The locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit returns to being a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a danger bit.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
