Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit, Double Jointed, 16mm, 14.5cm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

The bit series from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit, Double Jointed, 16mm, 14.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Side piece

Full Cheek Elevator Bit

The elevator bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit laterally guides the horse and provides stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheekpieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to form surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
