Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 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. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Elevator Snaffle

The elevator snaffle can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tilt and pull up into the corners of the mouth. This means an increased effect. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which means less pressure is exerted on the tongue than with a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
