Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle, single jointed, 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point, making it a medium-strength 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 the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features shanks or cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-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

Snaffle Bit

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

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5 has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed one.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
