Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large brass rings 16mm 11.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
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.
The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large brass rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large brass rings 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
Cheek piece
Loose ring snaffle
The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large brass rings 16mm 11.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
Mouthpiece
Double-jointed
The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's 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.
