Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Waterford Multi-joint Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. 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, draught 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 palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Waterford Multi-joint Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Curbgag

The combination bit, or 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 chin strap, which can be taken up and released as needed. It is very well suited for horses that tend to rush forward.

Mouthpiece

Multi-joint/Waterford

A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
