Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thin mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
Bridoon snaffles for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Double Jointed 12mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller side pieces as a bridoon snaffle for double bridles. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Side Piece
Mouthpiece
Double jointed
A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common type of mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a bit 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 joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit applies more pressure to the tongue. Bridoon Snaffle
The bridoon snaffle is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available as 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 snaffle is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bridoon snaffle is jointed.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept the Sweet Iron bits.
