Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Roller 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Roller 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Roller 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as the side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Bit
The full cheek bit is a combination of a gag bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents 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 effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to form surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
