Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which means a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

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 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.
