Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Olive Head Single Jointed 12mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its widest 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.

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

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Olive Head Single Jointed 12mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian assortment in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Olive Head Single Jointed 12mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller cheekpieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece. Bradoon

The bradoon 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 bradoon is usually chosen half to a whole cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a curb bit and the bradoon is jointed.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
