Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Loose Ring Snaffle 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Bridoons for curb 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.

Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Side Piece

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to 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

The bridoon is used in combination with a curb 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 is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a solid bar and the bridoon 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 tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
