Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring Double Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features D-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-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 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
A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Cheekpiece
D-Ring
Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses who are still somewhat inexperienced. This is because the shape and weight of the cheekpieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-rings, optimal lateral stability is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
