The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 the palate.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Gag bit

The gag bit is a combination of a gag bit and a D-ring bit. The D-ring bit limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheekpieces, which are pulled through the bit rings. This creates a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
