Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Single-Jointed 12mm 10.5

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 usually suitable for a pony.

Bridoon snaffles for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Single-Jointed 12mm 10.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Single-Jointed 12mm 10.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller side pieces as a bridoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 10.5 centimeters.

The mouthpiece size 10.5cm is usually ideal for ponies.

Side Piece

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Single-Jointed 12mm 10.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly one of the most common alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece. Bridoon Snaffle

The bridoon snaffle 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 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

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