Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings locked 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it 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, draft horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting 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 Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings locked 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings locked 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheek piece
Loose Ring Snaffle
A loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings locked 16mm 12.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
Mouthpiece
Locked
The locked mouthpiece is similar to 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 thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back into a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
