Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
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 team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Side Piece
Gag Bit
The gag bit can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means an increased effect. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which means less pressure is exerted on the tongue than with 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
