Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Olive Head Flat Bar 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Snaffle Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Snaffle Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Side Piece

Draw gag snaffle with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a draw gag snaffle. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Snaffle Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any draw gag snaffle.

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 effect 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 when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
