The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed 12mm 10.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony 3-Ring Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed 12mm 10.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 10.5 centimeters. The 10.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for ponies.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thin 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 generally suitable for a pony.
When choosing 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 are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Single Jointed
A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and is very widely used.
Side Piece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and a lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the engaging 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.
