The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Loose Ring Snaffle and Copper Rings from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Loose Ring Snaffle and Copper Rings is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring snaffle cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way 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 jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Cheek piece

Elevator bit with loose rings

This bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a loose ring snaffle, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The loose ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Loose Ring Snaffle and Copper Rings can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
