Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5

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, draft 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today, we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

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 different 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.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge 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 the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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