Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit with Rollers

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a medium-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, draught horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Bit with Rollers is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

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 taking 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 exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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