Trust Sweet Iron French Link Snaffle with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 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 size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

Full Cheek Bit

The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral confinement 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

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat 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-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
