The Trust Equestrian Team is continuously working on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval French Bar Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Sweet Iron Beval French Bar Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.
Reference 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.
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.
Manufacturer Information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.
Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal eyelets 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 in a central axis of the ring.
