Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Blocked 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed Locked 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So it's more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed Locked 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed Locked 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size of 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed Locked 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. In addition, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit reverts to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
