Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Single Broken Locking 16mm 12.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Single Broken Locking 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Single Broken Locking 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with draw cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Draw Gag
The draw gag is a combination of a gag bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit laterally restricts the horse and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via draw cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.
Mouthpiece
Locked
The Locked mouthpiece is similar to a single broken mouthpiece, but it cannot bend as much as a single broken bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single broken bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.
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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
