Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimetres at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more likely to be 10mm to 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 choosing 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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimetres.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Side piece
Elevator bit
The elevator bit combines the effect of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents 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 uptake.
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 so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept the Sweet Iron bits well.
