Trust Sweet Iron Waterford Snaffle 13.5 16mm

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 13.5 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lip area. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 13.5 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Waterford Bit 13.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Sidepiece

Loose Ring

The loose ring bit has two free-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 13.5 16mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed 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, so the rider retains proper control. In soft hands this mouthpiece is soft and friendly, 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
