Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings French Link 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings French link 16mm 13.5

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

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings French link 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings French link 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with large rings French link 16mm 13.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double jointed, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
