Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Bit, Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissures. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

Gag Snaffle Bit

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

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. 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. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
