Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Beval Bit Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimetres. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal Warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimetres at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal Warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, Thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large Warmbloods, Draft horses and Shires rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing the 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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.

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 action 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.
