Trust Sweet Iron Half-Cheek Snaffle single broken 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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 the 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 Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

Elevator Gag Snaffle

The elevator gag snaffle is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle restricts the horse laterally and provides stability, also preventing the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheek pieces, which are pulled through the bit rings. This creates a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
