Cheekpiece
Full Cheek Snaffle with Olive Head Rings
The bit is a combination of a full cheek snaffle and an olive head bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Olive Head Waterford Multi-Jointed Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5 can be ridden like any full cheek snaffle with one or two reins.
Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, so the rider retains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
