The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle, Flat Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle, Flat Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.
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.
Comparative 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek Piece
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 of attaching the reins. When buckled into the lower ring, the giving 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.
