The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bradoon Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Snaffle Bradoon Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with smaller cheekpieces as a bradoon for double bridles. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple link. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest 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.

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

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

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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

Mouthpiece

Multiple Link/Waterford

A multiple link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Cheekpiece

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffle bits 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 solid bar and the bradoon is jointed.
