Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Bit, Double Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point 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 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Bit, Double Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm, from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Bit, Double Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 10.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 10.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Bit
The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral stability without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled cheek pieces. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped to the mouth, and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
