Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, Single-Jointed 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a moderately strong 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, cold-bloods and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, Single-Jointed 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle, Single-Jointed 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or bars as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

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

Side piece

Full Cheek Snaffle

The full cheek snaffle 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

single-jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle, Single-Jointed 16mm 14.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly exerts pressure on the bars and the 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 mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.
