The Trust Equestrian bit range provides gentle yet effective impulses for improved communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle locked in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle locked is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Loose Rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strong mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

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, becoming a straight bar, which makes it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit returns to being a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Side piece

Loose Ring

Loose ring snaffles have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle locked lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
