The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
Manufacturer information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its spirit of innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed and strictly quality-controlled by the Trust technical teams.
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 sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Cheekpiece
Loose ring snaffle
A freely moving 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 Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
