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 Draw Gag French Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag French Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features draw shanks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest 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 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 choosing 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 palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
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.
Side piece
Draw Gag
The draw gag is a combination of a gag bit and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle guides the horse laterally and provides stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via draw cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein uptake.
