Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford 12.5 16mm

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 12.5 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 12.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple joint. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

Loose Ring

The loose ring has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 12.5 16mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Multiple Joint/Waterford

A multiple joint 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 gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
