The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron pony 3-ring snaffle bit 12mm 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron pony 3-ring snaffle bit 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 9.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for ponies.
Bit thickness
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparative 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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so 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
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 mainly puts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.
Cheeks
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is selected by the different rein attachment options. When the rein is buckled into 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.
