The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Dr. Bristol 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Dr. Bristol 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the central part of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a medium-strong mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed 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.
Manufacturer information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed and strictly quality-controlled by Trust's technical teams.
Mouthpiece
Dr. Bristol
The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts primarily on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a lesser angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that go against the hand.
Cheekpiece
Loose Ring
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 Bit Dr. Bristol 16mm 12.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
