Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Snaffle Bit, Double Broken, 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength 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, draught horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the 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.
The bit assortment 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 Fulmer Snaffle Bit, Double Broken, 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Fulmer Snaffle Bit, Double Broken, 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with fulmer cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double broken. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Fulmer Snaffle
The Fulmer snaffle lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It ensures reliable lateral limitation 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.
Mouthpiece
Double Broken
The double broken mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped to 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 joints can press on the bars in a narrow lower jaw. The double broken bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single broken bits.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
