Trust Snaffle Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's cheek area. So it is rather a 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 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 development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and drawing action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the giving 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

Multi-link/Waterford

A multi-link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
