Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 11.5
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. So it's rather a thin mouthpiece.
Comparison 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
Cheek piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage and poll pressure in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the rein. Buckled into the lower ring, the giving 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.
Mouthpiece
double jointed
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more 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. The bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to wounds. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
