Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 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 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.
The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Side Piece
Full Cheek Elevator Bit
The full cheek elevator bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and provides stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces, which 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
