The range of bits 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 Sweet Iron Gag Bit, Olive Head, Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Gag Bit, Olive Head, Medium 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 mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-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 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 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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.

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 Sweet Iron Gag Bit, Olive Head, Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins like any gag bit.
