Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings elliptical 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bits from Trust Equestrian 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 elliptical 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings elliptical 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose running 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 rings elliptical 16mm 12.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
