Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon French Link 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon French Bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This means it is 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Weymouth bradoons for curb bits are usually 12mm to 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are carefully selected and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Bradoon French Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available in single-jointed and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference from 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 centimeter larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a bar and the bradoon is jointed. Bar bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A 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 are designed so that surface rust develops when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
