Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 10.5cm
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. 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-blooded horses, 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, consider the anatomical conditions 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 Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 10.5cm bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 10.5cm bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring sides. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 10.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 10.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.
Side Piece
Loose Ring Snaffle
A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed 12mm 10.5cm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
