Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle High Port 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Bit High Port 16mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire 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.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Bit High Port 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

2.5-ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows for flexible rein attachment, which results in varying degrees of leverage. The lower the reins are attached, the higher the effect on the bit and the horse's poll. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is recessed into the main ring.

Mouthpiece

Straight bar bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
