Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So it is rather a thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the 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 thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

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 buckling options of the rein. When buckled 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

Multi-joint/Waterford

A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
