Trust Gebiss Sweet Iron Dr. Bristol Copper Plate Elevator Bit

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Dr. Bristol Copper Plate

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's commissure. It is therefore 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 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.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Dr. Bristol Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Dr. Bristol Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Bit Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, meaning a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Elevator Bit

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tilt and pull up into the corners of the mouth. This means increased leverage. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve more uprightness.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It primarily acts on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.
