Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings, Single Jointed, 16mm, 11.5cm
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its widest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 choosing 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.
The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings, Single Jointed, 16mm, 11.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

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, Single Jointed, 16mm, 11.5cm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
Mouthpiece
Single Jointed
The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are 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.
