Trust Sweet Iron Curb Gag Dr. Bristol Copper Plate

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Dr. Bristol Copper Plate

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strong 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Dr. Bristol Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Dr. Bristol Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Curbgag

The combination bit, or curb gag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a curb strap that can be applied and released as needed. This bit is very suitable for particularly strong and forward-going horses.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that go against the hand.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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