Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 12.0

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thin mouthpiece.

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

Bridoons for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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

Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 12.0 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Bridoon Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 12.0 is made of Sweet Iron and features smaller cheekpieces than a bridoon for a double bridle. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 12 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market. Bridoon

The bridoon is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available with single and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon is usually chosen half to a whole cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the bridoon is jointed.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
