Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses usually need 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-joint. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is normally 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 selected 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.

Mouthpiece

Multi-Joint/Waterford

A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth, creating 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 kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

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.
