Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires 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.

Trust Equestrian bits are carefully selected and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage and uplifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the reins. When buckled in the lower ring, the giving 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 conforms 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

Trust's 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.
