Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Rollers 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Side Piece
Elevator Bit
The elevator bit combines the effect of an elevator bit 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 elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.
Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which means less pressure is exerted on the tongue than with a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly 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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
