Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire 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 palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Side Piece
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 Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 can be ridden like any gag snaffle with one or two reins.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
