Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Joint Blocked 11.5 16mm

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 11.5 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's interdental space. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

When selecting the 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 11.5 16mm bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 11.5 16mm bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it becomes rigid when rein pressure is applied. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

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

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece is similar to a single jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a regular single jointed bit. When rein pressure is applied, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less rein pressure is applied, the bit reverts to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
