Trust Sweet Iron Lifting Snaffle Bit, French Link, Eggbutt, 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses usually require 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 features 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 gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Cheekpiece

Gag snaffle with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a gag snaffle. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 can be ridden with one or two reins like any gag snaffle.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
