The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal Warmbloods 16 - 18mm, Ponies rather 10 - 14mm, Thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large Warmbloods, Coldbloods and Shires 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Dr. Bristol
The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts primarily on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.
Cheek Piece
D-Ring
Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still somewhat inexperienced. The shape and weight of the cheek pieces ensure a quiet and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and quiet rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide slightly more leverage on the poll.
