The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.

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 continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.
Mouthpiece
single jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Cheek piece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but acts more on the nose, jaw, and poll through the shanks.
