Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or bars as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 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
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.

Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Sidepiece
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.
