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 Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses usually require 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.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.

Mouthpiece
double jointed
Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars and corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.
Cheekpiece
D-Ring
Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a little inexperienced. The shape and weight of the cheekpieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
