Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Snaffle double jointed

Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Bit, Double-Jointed

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Bit, Double-Jointed from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Bit, Double-Jointed is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Fulmer cheeks as a sidepiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Sidepiece

Fulmer Bit

The fulmer bit is a combination of a full cheek snaffle and a loose ring snaffle. The full cheek limits the horse laterally and provides stability, also preventing the bit rings from slipping through. The fulmer bit is connected to the bridle via snaffle cheeks that are pulled through the bit rings, achieving 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 hinges, is shaped more 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
