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

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed Locking 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Olive Head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied. The bit has a width 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 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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 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.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a danger bit.

Side piece

Elevator bit with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and an elevator bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Single Jointed Locking 16mm 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
