Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Snaffle Olive Head French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Oval Rings French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits.

Cheek Piece

Full Cheek Snaffle with Oval Rings

This bit combines the advantages of an oval ring bit and a full cheek snaffle. The oval ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Oval Rings French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any full cheek snaffle.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which applies even pressure to the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is more shaped to the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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