Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Snaffle 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Single Jointed 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's commissure. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Side piece

D-Ring

Due to the nature of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a bit 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

single jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

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.
