Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Double Broken Bit 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Double Jointed 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Double Jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Side Piece

3-Ring

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

Double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
