The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece 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. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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
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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its spirit of 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
single jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.
Side piece
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 bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 can be ridden like any elevator bit with one or two reins.
