Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Waterford Snaffle 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Waterford Multi-Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 selecting bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

D-Ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suited 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 steady rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

Mouthpiece

Multi-joint/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

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.
