The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Snaffle Bit Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Snaffle Bit Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Snaffle rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire 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 are designed so that surface rust forms upon 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

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Elevator snaffles

The elevator snaffle can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tip and lift in the corner of the mouth. This means a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve increased collection.
