Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a medium-thickness 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 typically suitable for a pony.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are carefully selected and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
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 restricts the horse laterally and provides stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from sliding through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.
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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
