Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part 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 usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draught horses, 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Gag Bit Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheek Piece
Gag Bit
The gag bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tip and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the natural upright posture of the horse.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
