Trust Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Snaffle Bit single jointed 12mm 10.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Snaffle single jointed 12mm 10.5

The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thin mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 choosing 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Snaffle single jointed 12mm 10.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The mouthpiece size 10.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.

Sidepiece

Baucher/Fillis

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Snaffle single jointed 12mm 10.5 is a Baucher bit, also called B-snaffle, Fillis or Fillet bit. This bit is suitable for horses that are sensitive to poll pressure. It lies very quietly in the mouth and particularly encourages horses that carry their heads very high to lower them and become lighter in the poll. The B-snaffle strongly resembles a Pelham in the upper part of the bit, because, like with a Pelham, the cheekpiece is buckled into the upper, small ring. However, the rein does not act on the bit via a lever and therefore exerts hardly any pressure on the poll.

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 the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
