Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Medium Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Medium Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's labial area. This makes it a medium-strong mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on 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 constantly being developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.
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.
Cheekpiece
Elevator bit with olive head rings
The bit is a combination of an elevator bit and an olive head bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Olive Head Medium Bar can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
