The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size 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. So it is rather a thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 test with your fingers 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.

Mouthpiece
Dr. Bristol
The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.
Cheek Piece
Universal/Swivel
The Universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as a cheek piece, with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.
