Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the finest materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 9.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for ponies.
Bit thickness
The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it 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 bloods 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, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on 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 innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
Mouthpiece
single jointed
A single jointed bit has one hinge point, 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. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.
Side piece
Loose Ring Snaffle
The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 9.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
