Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit straight bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit straight bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at the thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Straight bar bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
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 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 effect depending on the degree of rein uptake.
