Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag bit, single jointed, locked 16mm 12.5cm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag bit, single jointed, locked 16mm 12.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag bit, single jointed, locked 16mm 12.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

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 curb chain, which can be taken up and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that tend to lean forward.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit reverts to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed 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.
