Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring double jointed with copper rings 16mm 11.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissures. 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring double jointed with copper rings 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
D-Ring
Due to the properties of this bit, it is wonderfully suited for young horses that are still a little inexperienced. This is because the shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
Mouthpiece
double jointed
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. 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 were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
