Trust Sweet Iron Waterford Snaffle Bit

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Waterford

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Waterford from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Waterford is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring side pieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple joint.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Waterford 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 soft 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 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.
