The bit Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point. This makes it a rather 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Sidepiece

Full Cheek Snaffle

The full cheek snaffle combines the effect of an elevator bit and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle laterally limits the horse and gives it stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein uptake.
