Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle medium port 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle straight bar 16mm 14.5

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.

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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle straight bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

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. Attached in 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

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

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 tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
