Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit, double jointed with high port, 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 12.5

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator shanks as a cheek piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Elevator Gag Bit

The elevator gag bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and provides stability, also preventing the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein engagement.

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 effect than a single jointed or double jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
