Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 14.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. 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 rather 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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.
The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Side Piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When the rein is attached to the bottom ring, the taking 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
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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
