Trust Sweet Iron Lifting Snaffle Olive Head Flat Bar 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire 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.

Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Elevator gag with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and an elevator gag. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Gag Olive Head Straight Bar 16mm 14.5 can be ridden like any elevator gag 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 are designed so that surface rust develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
