Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. So it's more of a thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
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.
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 D-Ring Double Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as a cheekpiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Cheekpiece
D-Ring
Due to the properties of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a little 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 Jointed
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more 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. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's 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.
