Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Single-Jointed Locked 16mm 13.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval single-jointed locked 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval single-jointed locked 16mm 13.5 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 size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional fastening of cheekpieces and reins, making 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
