Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Single Broken Blocking 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle, Single-Jointed, Locked 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle, Single-Jointed, Locked 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle, Single-Jointed, Locked 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Gag Snaffle

The gag snaffle can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up into the corners of the mouth. This means increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve increased collection.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit returns to being a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
