Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Beval Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's cheek area. This makes it a rather 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, draft 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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 Sweet Iron Beval Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Beval Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as side pieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
Mouthpiece
single jointed
The Trust Sweet Iron Beval Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly puts 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
