The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Olive Head French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Gag Olive Head French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with draw gag olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So it is rather a 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 bloods and Shire Horses usually require 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

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.
