Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit, Double-Jointed with High Port

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Double Jointed with High Port

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Double Jointed with High Port from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Double Jointed with High Port is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and poll pressure in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. If the rein is buckled into the bottom ring, the engaging rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

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 action 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
