Product description
Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Broken Bit 16mm 11.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 test with your fingers 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 Sweet Iron D-Ring double broken bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring double broken bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double broken. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Sidepiece
D-Ring
Due to the properties of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still somewhat inexperienced. The shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a quiet and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and quiet rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
Mouthpiece
double broken
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
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.
