Trust Sweet Iron Cheekpiece Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test how much space there is between the tongue and palate with your fingers.

The range of bits 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 Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Bit Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Cheekpiece

Elevator Bits

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. With increased pressure, the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This results in increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve more uplift.

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

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
