Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit French Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit French Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Gag Bit rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. 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 characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

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

Cheekpiece

Gag Bits

The gag 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 an increased effect. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.
