The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 15.0 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 15.0 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller cheek pieces as a bridoon snaffle for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 15 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 15cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thin mouthpiece.

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

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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so 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.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly 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.

Cheek Piece

Bridoon Snaffle

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