Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit, single jointed, locked, 16mm 11.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval bit, single jointed, locked, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit, single jointed, locked, 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internally located eyelets 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.
Mouthpiece
Locked
The locked mouthpiece is similar to a single jointed mouthpiece, but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back into a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.
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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
