Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron-hanging cheek single-jointed
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strong 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, cold-bloods 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron-hanging cheek single-jointed from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron-hanging cheek single-jointed is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Baucher or Fillis cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.
Bit thickness
Cheekpiece
Baucher/Fillis
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron-hanging cheek single-jointed is a Baucher bit, also called B-snaffle, Fillis or Fillet bit. This bit is suitable for horses that react sensitively to poll pressure. It lies very quietly in the mouth and particularly encourages horses that carry their head very high to lower it and become lighter in the poll. The B-snaffle is very similar to a Pelham in the upper part of the bit, because as with the Pelham, the cheekpiece is buckled into the upper, small ring. However, the rein does not act on the bit via a lever and therefore exerts hardly any pressure on the poll.
Mouthpiece
single-jointed
A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly 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
Trust 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.
