The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings waterford 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings waterford 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 selecting 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring

A loose 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 waterford 16mm 11.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
