Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Snaffle single jointed 12mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Bit single jointed 12mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Cheek piece

Baucher/Fillis

The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Bit single jointed 12mm 11.5 is a Baucher bit, also called a B-bit, Fillis, or Fillet bit. This bit is suitable for horses that react sensitively 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-bit 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 Trust Sweet Iron Pony Baucher Bit single jointed 12mm 11.5 has a joint 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 common.

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.
