The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5 Rings Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5 Rings Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strong mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft 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 use your fingers to test 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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheek piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the giving rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
