Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
Weymouth bradoons usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Cheekpiece
Mouthpiece
Weymouth Bradoon
The weymouth bradoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available with single-jointed and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The weymouth bradoon is usually chosen half to a full centimeter larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the weymouth bradoon is jointed. Straight bar bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
