The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon with large elliptical rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon with large elliptical rings 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. 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-blooded horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

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 Bradoon with large elliptical rings 16mm 11.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
