Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit double jointed with high port 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Bit, Double Jointed with High Port, 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag bit rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheeks

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. Can also be used for horses to achieve increased collection.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
