Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Bit Waterford Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 14.5

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

For 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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.

Bridoon snaffles for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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

Trust Equestrian bits 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 Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller side pieces as a bridoon for double bridles. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

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 mainly exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used. Bridoon

The bridoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available in single and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g. eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon is usually chosen half to a whole cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the bridoon is jointed.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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