Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Ported Barrel High 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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 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 Loose Ring Ported Barrel High 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Ported Barrel High 16mm 14.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a solid bar. The bit has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Cheekpiece
Loose Ring
Loose ring bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide a bit more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Ported Barrel High 16mm 14.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
Mouthpiece
Solid Bar Bits
A solid bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A solid 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 they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. As a result, horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
