Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed 16mm 11.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's commissures. 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, cold-blooded 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.
Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheek piece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, jaw, and poll due to the leverage.
Mouthpiece
Double jointed
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more 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. Be careful 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
