Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Undershot Snaffle Single Jointed Blocking 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Water snaffle single jointed locked 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 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.

Bridoons for curbs 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 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. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Water Snaffle Bridoon Single Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Water Snaffle Bridoon Single Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller side parts as a bridoon for curbs. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Sidepiece

Mouthpiece

Bridoon

The bridoon is used in combination with a curb 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 cm larger than the curb, as the curb is a solid bar and the bridoon is jointed. Locked

The Locked (blocking) mouthpiece resembles 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 thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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 the Sweet Iron bits.
