Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Joint Blocked 12.5 16mm

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 12.5 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 features 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 greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 12.5 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 12.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Locked 12.5 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Locked

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

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.
