Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings High Port 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with Large Rings High Port 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features loose ring snaffle cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's commissures. It is therefore a medium-thick 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 conditions 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This rust 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 by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
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 Bit with Large Rings High Port 16mm 13.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
