Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, arched, 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally 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 most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, arched, 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, arched, 16mm 12.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Cheek Piece
Loose Ring Snaffle
A loose 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 with large rings, arched, 16mm 12.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
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.
