Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Double Broken Bit 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and especially large warmbloods, draught horses, and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and 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 Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheeks

Loose Ring

The loose ring bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this cheek piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

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.
