Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed with high port 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. So it is 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-bloods and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed with high port 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short double jointed with high port 16mm 12.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a mullen mouth. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Sidepiece
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
Mullen Mouth bits
A mullen mouth is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A mullen mouth has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
