The Trust Equestrian bit range provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 10 is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller cheek pieces as a bridoon snaffle for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 10 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for ponies.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thin mouthpiece.

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

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

When choosing 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts 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 the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

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., eggbutt rings); these are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon snaffle is usually chosen half to a whole centimeter larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bridoon snaffle is jointed.
