The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit French Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit French Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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

Bar bits

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

Cheekpiece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral confinement, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. Attached to the lower ring, the taking 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 a leverage action.
