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 Curbgag Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Double Jointed 16mm 14.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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 when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Curbgag

The combi-bit, or Curbgag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a chin strap that can be taken up and released as needed. This bit is very well suited for particularly strong and forward-going horses.
