Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Bradoon Loose Ring Single Jointed 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are carefully selected and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Bradoon Loose Ring Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

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

Cheek Piece

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron Bradoon Loose Ring Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 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 sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market. 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. eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to one cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust develops on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
