Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Bit Olive Head French Link 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Half Cheek Mullen Mouth Olive Head French Bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Half Cheek Mullen Mouth Olive Head French Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

Cheeks

Half Cheek with Olive Head Rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a half cheek bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Half Cheek Mullen Mouth Olive Head French Bar 16mm 11.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any half cheek bit.

Mouthpiece

Mullen Mouth Bits

A mullen mouth is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A mullen 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 have been developed so 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.
