Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings Brass Ring 16mm 14.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lips. This means it is a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 with Large Rings Brass Ring 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings Brass Ring 16mm 14.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
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 Brass Ring 16mm 14.5 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 shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit applies more pressure to the tongue.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
