The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Double Broken 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Double Broken 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double broken. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size 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.

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 choosing 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

double broken

The double broken mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped to the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars and corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double broken bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single broken bits.

Side piece

Elevator bit with olive head rings

The bit is a combination of an elevator bit and an olive head bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Double Broken 16mm 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
