The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Olive Head Single Broken Locked 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Draw Gag Olive Head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are engaged. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparison 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 use your fingers to test 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 to create surface rust 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 quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single-broken mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-broken 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 reverts to a single-broken bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean against the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Cheek Piece

Draw Gag with Olive Head Rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a draw gag. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Olive Head Single Broken Locked 16mm 14.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any draw gag.
