The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Rollers 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Rollers 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of 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
single jointed
A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Cheekpiece
Elevator bit
The elevator bit is a combination of an elevator and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator is connected to the bridle via elevator cheekpieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.
