Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Waterford Linked Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather 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 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 the palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Waterford Linked Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Waterford Linked Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Cheekpiece
Gag bits
The gag bit 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 a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the natural collection of the horse.
Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that forms 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
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.
