Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost 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 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3 ring double jointed 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-Ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 9.5 centimeters. The 9.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for ponies.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is rather a thin mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires 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 test with your fingers 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 forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.
Cheekpiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways of attaching the rein. When attached to the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
