The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes 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-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 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.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on 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 the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

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 various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling 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.
