Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit with Single Broken Blocking Mechanism, 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron elevator bit, single jointed, locking 16mm 12.5

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

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

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron elevator bit, single jointed, locking 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron elevator bit, single jointed, locking 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

Elevator bits

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

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece is similar to 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 reverts to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean 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 designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
