Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its widest point, making it a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.
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 Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Pony Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, 12mm, 10.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or fulmer cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 10.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for ponies.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Bit
The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral guidance without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled shanks. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
Mouthpiece
Single Jointed
The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed one.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
