Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Medium Port 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Bit with Medium Bar 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it 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, draft 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 development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Bit with Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Bit with Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

D-Ring

Due to the properties of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a little inexperienced. This is because 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 calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed 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.
