Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Double Broken 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Double Jointed 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring double jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

3-Ring

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

double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
