The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit Double Broken 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit Double Broken 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-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 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather 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 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 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
Double Jointed
The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
