The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Cheek Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag cheeks as a sidepiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which means a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Gag Cheek

The gag cheek combines the effect of a gag bit and a D-ring bit. The D-ring cheekpiece limits the horse laterally and provides stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheekpieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

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.
