The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Short Combination Single Jointed Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Short Combination Single Jointed Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and especially 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 use your fingers to check 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 upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Single Jointed
The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Short Combination Single Jointed Bit 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 widely used.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
A hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its action on the bridge of the nose. Additionally, when the reins are taken up, it also affects the poll and the chin groove.
