The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Olive Head French Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Olive Head French Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is normally ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

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

Comparative 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 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 designed to develop 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 innovative spirit 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

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Sidepiece

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 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, just like any gag bit.
