Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Medium Port 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Medium Bar 16mm 11.5

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side piece

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 Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

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.

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.
