Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a rather 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 selecting 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 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 Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

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

Sidepiece

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 to the lower ring, the taking 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

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that lean on the hand.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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.
