Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Flat Bar 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a rather 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 need 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When buckled into the lower ring, the rein applies the effect of a short lever to the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.
