Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's labial area. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

The bit series from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Sidepiece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage and poll pressure in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways of attaching the reins. When buckled into 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 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. Be careful 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 Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.
