Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Thin Bar 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Flat Bar 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick 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.

Weymouth bradoons for curb 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available as single-jointed and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference from other snaffle bits is in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to a whole cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed. 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

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.
