Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 conditions 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 team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 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 side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and 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's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
