The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Bit High Port 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag Bit High Port 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a port. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed and strictly quality-controlled by Trust's technical teams.

Mouthpiece

Ported bits

A port is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A ported mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Sidepiece

Curbgag

The combination 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 strap, which can be taken up and released as needed. This bit is very well suited for particularly strong and forward-going horses.
