Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Bridoon Flat Bar

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon Flat Bar

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Bradoons for Weymouth bits are usually between 12mm and 14mm thick.

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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon Flat Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon Flat Bar is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller side pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available as single-jointed 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 a full cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
