Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 13.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's cheek area. It is therefore a moderately thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, heavy horses, and Shires 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 palate.
Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually a good fit for a normal warmblood.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but acts primarily on the nose, chin, and poll through the shanks.
Mouthpiece
Single jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 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. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
