Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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 with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's 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
single jointed
The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.
Cheek piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lift in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the rein applies the effect of a short lever to the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
