Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Continental Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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 development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Continental Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Continental Gag Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Continental Gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Cheekpiece
Continental Gag
The continental gag can be ridden with two reins. The second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth with increased pressure. This means increased action. 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 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
