Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 11.5
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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting 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 palate.
The Trust Equestrian Team is continuously working on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings or full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Snaffle
The full cheek snaffle lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral confinement without the risk of pinching the skin and lips due to the angled cheekpieces. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. 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 were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
