Trust Sweet Iron Curb Gag Roller Bit 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So, it is 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

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

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Curb Gag

The combination bit, also called a curb gag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a curb chain, which can be taken up and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that tend to push forward.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which puts 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way 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.
