Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Olive Head Single Jointed 12mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

When choosing 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 the palate.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge 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 the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market. 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 one cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a solid bar and the bridoon snaffle is jointed.

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.
