The Trust Equestrian bit range provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we'd like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings medium port from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings medium port is made of Sweet Iron and features loose ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With their Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. Their products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

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 medium port is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
