Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Snaffle with Large Rings 16mm 12.5cm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's more of a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 Waterford Snaffle with Large Rings 16mm 12.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The bit, the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Snaffle with Large Rings 16mm 12.5cm, is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple joint. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Loose ring snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Snaffle with Large Rings 16mm 12.5cm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Multi-joint/Waterford

A multi-joint or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms 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 friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.
