Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Double-Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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 conditions 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 greatest care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Double-Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Double-Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheek Piece
Gag Snaffles
The gag snaffle can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.
Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
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.
