The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece
single jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed 16mm 14.5 has a joint 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 certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, chin, and poll through the shanks.
