The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Straight Bar bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Straight Bar bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Elevator Olive Head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting 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 are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, which makes horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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.

Cheekpiece

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 Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Straight Bar bit can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
