Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Olive Head, Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially 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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

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 bit types. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 bit can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.
