Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3-ring single-jointed 12mm 11.5
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So it's 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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3-ring single-jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron-pony 3-ring single-jointed 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
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 different rein attachment options. When attached to 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.
Mouthpiece
single-jointed
The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so that surface rust develops when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
