The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curbgag Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

When selecting 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 are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, which makes horses accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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 by Trust's technical teams and rigorously quality-controlled.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek 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 chain, which can be engaged and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that tend to push forward.
