The bit range 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 locked 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed locked 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are taken up. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-strength 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 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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
Manufacturer Information

Mouthpiece
Locked
The locked mouthpiece is similar to a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its action on the bridge of the nose. In addition, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
