Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Mouthpiece

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore 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, cold-blooded 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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-joint.

Bit Thickness

Cheek 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 engaging 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 kind, 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
