Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed locked 16mm 12.5
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.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the 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 locked 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short single jointed locked 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when rein pressure is applied. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, chin, and poll due to the leverage.
Mouthpiece
Locked
The locked mouthpiece resembles 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 thus 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 push against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.
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.
