Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Double Broken 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Double Jointed 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick 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, draught horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings, meaning rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

Loose ring

A loose ring characterizes a loose ring bit. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
