Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Snaffle 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strong 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 selecting 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 bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Side piece

Olive head

The olive head bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aid is directly transmitted 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 a 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 certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
