The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle High Port 16mm 12.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle High Port 16mm 12.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a port. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather 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 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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on 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 quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

Ported bits

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

Cheek Piece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows for flexible attachment of the reins, which allows for different leverage effects. The lower the reins are attached, the greater the effect on the bit and poll of the horse. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is embedded in the main ring.
