Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thin 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, cold-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.
Bridoons for Weymouth bits typically have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, consider 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.
The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller cheekpieces as a bridoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
Mouthpiece
double jointed
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth, and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit applies more pressure to the tongue. Bridoon
The bridoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth is a curb bit and the bridoon is jointed.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
