Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Blocking 12mm 15

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon single jointed locked 12mm 15

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. So, it's a rather thin mouthpiece.

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

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

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon single jointed locked 12mm 15 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon single jointed locked 12mm 15 bit is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller side pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 15 centimeters.

This mouthpiece size is generally a good fit for very large warmbloods.

Bradoon

The bradoon 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 bradoon is usually chosen half to one cm larger than the Weymouth, as the Weymouth is a curb bit and the bradoon is jointed. Locked

The Locked (blocking) mouthpiece resembles a single jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When rein pressure is applied, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less rein pressure is applied, the bit reverts to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.
