The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bridoon Single Jointed Locked 12mm 11 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bridoon Single Jointed Locked 12mm 11 is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller cheekpieces as a bridoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied. The bit has a width of 11 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally a good fit for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.

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

Bridoons for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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 were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece is similar to a single jointed mouthpiece, but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit returns to being a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Cheekpiece

Bridoon

The bridoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon is usually chosen half to a full centimeter larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bridoon is jointed.
