Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-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 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 bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is normally ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Side piece
Full Cheek Elevator Bit
The full cheek elevator bit combines the effect of an elevator 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 elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein engagement.
Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
