The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Bit rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is normally ideal for thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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 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 have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed further by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

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 primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece and very common.

Side piece

Elevator bit

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up into the corner of the mouth with increased pressure. This means a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.
