Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Waterford Mouthpiece

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit Waterford Link Mouthpiece

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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 bloods, and Shire Horses usually need 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.

The Trust Equestrian 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 Full Cheek Bit Waterford Link Mouthpiece from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Full Cheek Bit with Gag Effect

The full cheek bit with gag effect combines the action of a gag bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit laterally limits the horse and provides stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheekpieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.
