Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width 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 horse's lip area. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.

Mouthpiece
double jointed
A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single jointed bits.
Cheekpiece
Olive head
Olive head bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 9.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
