The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Roller Snaffle 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually a good fit for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. This makes horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer Information

Trust Equestrian

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 controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

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.
