Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed

Single-jointed, anatomical Trust Equestrian loose ring snaffle made of Sweet Iron material, which naturally stimulates saliva production. Also available in a pony version .

This loose ring snaffle features loose, movable rings with a diameter of approximately 70 mm. Most horses respond well to this type of bit due to its position on the bars and tongue. The loose rings allow the rider's rein aids to be applied indirectly.

The single-jointed bit consists of two pieces that rest in the horse's mouth, each with a bit thickness of 16 mm. With a single-jointed bit, the horse has more tongue freedom than with a double-jointed bit. This creates more pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue.

All Trust bits are anatomically shaped and made for the modern horse's mouth, ensuring a perfect fit.

The Trust Sweet Iron bit develops surface rust through contact with (atmospheric) moisture, which has a sweet taste and naturally stimulates saliva production. This causes the horse to foam more, which in turn leads to better acceptance of the bit. Due to the rusting process (oxidation), the blue color of the Trust bits turns brownish-gray over time.
If a Sweet Iron bit isn't used for a while, an orange-brown layer of rust can form on the mouthpiece. This layer can easily be wiped off with a damp cloth. Of course, surface rust isn't harmful to the horse.

Every Trust bit is entirely handmade in the Netherlands. All components are welded and polished by hand. The Sweet Iron acquires its beautiful deep blue color by briefly heating it. The finishing touch is the hand-hammering of the size stamp and brand name.
