Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
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 typically between 10mm and 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 selecting 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 palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
Sidepiece
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 bit types. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit Olive Head Waterford Multi-Joint Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 can be ridden like any elevator bit with one or two reins.
