Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Straight Bar, Medium, 11.5cm, 16mm
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. 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 usually between 10mm and 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 the palate.
Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Straight Bar, Medium, 11.5cm, 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit thickness

Side Piece
Olive Head
Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Snaffle Bit, Straight Bar, Medium, 11.5cm, 16mm lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
Mouthpiece
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 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.
