Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Blocked 14.5 16mm

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Locked 14.5 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. It is therefore a rather 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 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 palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Locked 14.5 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Locked 14.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

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 Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Locked 14.5 16mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the 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 changes back 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 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.
