Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 12.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting 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 palate.
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 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty 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
single jointed
The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
