Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag flat bar 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag Flat Bar 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at the thickest point. So, it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a regular warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draught horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curb Gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Side Piece

Curb Gag

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 chin strap, which can be taken up and released as needed. This bit is very suitable for particularly strong and forward-moving horses.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.
