The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Beval French Link Bit 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Beval French Link Bit 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires 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
Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek Piece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek straps and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.
