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 from the Trust Equestrian assortment in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When choosing 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 palate.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 to the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars in a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Cheek 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 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
