Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head High Port 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head High Port 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a port. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a moderately thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into 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 innovation 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
Ported Bits
A port is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A ported mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek Piece
Elevator Bridle with Olive Head Rings
This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and an elevator bridle. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head High Port 16mm 12.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bridle.
