Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag French Bar 16mm 14.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissures. This makes it a 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 choosing 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.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag French Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag French Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator cheeks as a sidepiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Sidepiece
Elevator Gag
The elevator gag is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit laterally limits the horse 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, which 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
