Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit with Shanks, Double-Jointed, 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, double jointed, 16mm, 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a moderately thick 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.

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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, double jointed, 16mm, 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, double jointed, 16mm, 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Side Piece

Full Cheek Bits

The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It ensures reliable lateral guidance without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled shanks. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.

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 a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
