Trust Sweet Iron Beval Roller Bit 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Roller Bit 16mm 11.5

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.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 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 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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Beval Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Roller Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has a hinge point, which means less pressure is exerted on the tongue than with a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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