Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-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 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Snaffle
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 bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
Mouthpiece
Double Jointed
A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, 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. This bit should not be used on horses 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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
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.
