Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, single jointed, 16mm 14.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires 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 the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, single jointed, 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, single jointed, 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Cheeks
Loose Ring Snaffle
A loose running 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 14.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
Mouthpiece
Single jointed
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings, single jointed, 16mm 14.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
