Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit, Double-Jointed with Copper Rings, 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with Copper Rings, 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with Copper Rings, 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with Copper Rings, 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

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

Cheek 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 various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action 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 shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a bit looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars in a narrow lower jaw. 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
