Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings, Locked, 16mm, 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
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 utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings, Locked, 16mm, 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings, Locked, 16mm, 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
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 Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings, Locked, 16mm, 13.5 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 thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. If 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
