Trust Snaffle Sweet Iron Swivel Double Jointed

Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Double-Jointed Bit

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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, draft horses, and Shire horses usually require 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 features 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 development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Double-Jointed Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Double-Jointed Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Universal/Swivel

The Universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars in horses with narrow lower jaws. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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