Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit French Bar from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit French Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its widest point in the area of the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made from 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.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek Piece
Elevator Full Cheek Bit
The elevator full cheek bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek 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 uptake.
