Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings elliptical 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings elliptical 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-strong mouthpiece.

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

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings elliptical 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings elliptical 16mm 14.5 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 centimetres.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheek Piece

Loose ring snaffle

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 with large rings elliptical 16mm 14.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single jointed bits.

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.
