Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part 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 usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-joint. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
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 fastening of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
Mouthpiece
Multi-joint/Waterford
A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
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. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
