Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters 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-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is typically suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

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 Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheeks

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and a gag action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. If attached in the lower ring, the engaging 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

single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece, along with the double-jointed mouthpiece, is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
