Product description

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

When selecting 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.
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 Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit 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 width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Snaffles
The full cheek 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 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 joints, is shaped more 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. The bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars in horses with narrow lower jaws. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.
