Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Medium Straight Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit with Medium Straight Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Gag Bits

The gag bit can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Can also be used for horses to achieve more uplift.
