Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

When choosing 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 so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines 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 rein applies the effect of a short lever to the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to a leverage action.
