Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle single jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle single jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or bars as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore rather a medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

When selecting 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle single jointed 16mm 12.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Sidepiece

Full cheek snaffles

The full cheek snaffle 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 bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
