Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Snaffle 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a moderately 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Snaffle 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Waterford Multi-Joint Snaffle 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-joint. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.
Cheek Piece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is fixed in 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 soft and kind, 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 upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
