Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Single Jointed 12mm 9.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its widest point, making it a relatively 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 need 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Single Jointed 12mm 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Single Jointed 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or gag cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 9.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 9.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Snaffle
The full cheek snaffle 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 bars. 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 puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
