The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Rollers 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for 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.
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
Trust's 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.

Mouthpiece
single jointed
The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Sidepiece
Full Cheek Bit
The full cheek bit combines the effect of a snaffle and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The snaffle is connected to the bridle via snaffle cheek pieces, which are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein uptake.
