Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore 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 conditions 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 Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

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 single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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.
