Product description
Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle with Medium Bar
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strong 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When choosing the thickness and size of the bit, 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 the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle with Medium Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle with Medium Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit Thickness
Sidepiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and a gag effect in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the engaging 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
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
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.
