Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Double Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lips. This makes it 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 palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Double Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Double Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its effect on the bridge of the nose. Additionally, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
Mouthpiece
Double jointed
The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars in narrow lower jaws. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
