Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10.5
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is 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 bloods 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.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian sets soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 10.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 10.5cm is normally ideal for ponies.
Side piece
Olive head
Olive head bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Olive Head Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10.5 lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
Mouthpiece
single jointed
A single jointed bit has a hinge point, which means less pressure is exerted on the tongue than with 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. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's 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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
