Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit French Mouth 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's commissures. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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 bit series 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 French Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Elevator Bits

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 a stronger action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
