Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit, Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit, Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 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 size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's commissures. 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 more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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

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 called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as a cheek piece, with inner eyes at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
