Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with French Link 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle with Straight Bar 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a 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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Bridoon snaffles for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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

Side Piece

Mouthpiece

Bridoon Snaffle

The bridoon snaffle is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available with single and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings); these are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon snaffle is usually chosen half to one cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the bridoon snaffle 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 so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
