Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw rein Snaffle, single jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw rein Snaffle, single jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features draw rein shanks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
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 Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
single jointed
A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.
Side piece
Draw rein snaffle
The draw rein snaffle is a combination of a draw bit and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle restricts the horse laterally and gives it stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The draw bit is connected to the bridle via draw cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.
