Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Waterford Snaffle 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Waterford Multi-Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So, it is 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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check 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 Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Waterford Multi-Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side piece

D-Ring

Due to the nature of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses who are still somewhat 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 quiet rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

Mouthpiece

Multi-Link/Waterford

A multi-link 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 soft 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 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.
