Trust Bit Sweet Iron Slider Olive Head Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 12.5

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires 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 palate.

Sidepiece

Slider bit with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a slider bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Slider Olive Head Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 12.5 can be ridden like any slider bit with one or two reins.

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

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