Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Snaffle Bit 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Olive Head French Bar 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point. It is therefore 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, 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 the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Olive Head French Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Cheek Piece

Gag bit with olive head rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and a gag bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Olive Head French Bar 16mm 12.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag bit.

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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
