The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval Double-Jointed Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Beval Double-Jointed Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
double-jointed
Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces with internal eyes at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
