Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 10.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 10.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 10.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 10.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thin mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust occurs on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
double jointed
A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Cheek piece
3-ring
The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral limitation, leverage and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When buckled in the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
