The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Double Broken with High Port 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making 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, 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.

Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.
Mouthpiece
Straight bar bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Sidepiece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but acts predominantly on the nose, chin, and poll through the levers.
