Trust Snaffle bit Sweet Iron single joint locked 16mm

The snaffle bit is a standard jaw piece. The rings cannot move loosely, so that the aid works more directly and the bit lies relatively still in the mouth. In addition, the bit prevents the lips from getting caught, so that bit rings are not necessary with this jaw piece.

The locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed bit, but cannot fold in half as much as a normal single-jointed bit. Back pressure blocks the bit, turning it into a rod and making it a sharper bit. With less pressure on the reins, the bit changes back to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that are against the hand and run through the hand. This bit is not suitable for an inexperienced rider.

The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with (air) moisture that tastes sweet and stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This will cause the horse to foam more, which ensures better acceptance of the bit. This rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits to brown-grey.
