Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Bit, double-jointed with copper rings 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it's more of a 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, cold-blooded 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 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 Curbgag Bit, double-jointed with copper rings 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Side piece

Curbgag

The combination bit, or Curbgag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a chin strap that can be taken up and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that push forward.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit applies more pressure to the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
