Trust Sweet Iron bit with full cheek snaffle, double jointed with high port, 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's cheek area. It is therefore a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron bit with full cheek snaffle, double jointed with high port, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron bit with full cheek snaffle, double jointed with high port, 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheek snaffle as cheekpiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Full cheek snaffle

The full cheek snaffle combines the effect of a gag bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and provides stability, and also prevents the bit rings from sliding through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheekpieces, which are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein engagement.

Mouthpiece

Straight bar bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
