Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Curb Gag single-jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag 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.

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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek 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, which can be taken up and released as needed. This bit is very suitable for particularly strong and forward-going horses.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, 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 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 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.
