Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Flat Bar 16mm 14.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more in the range of 10mm to 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 conditions 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 range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Cheek Piece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, jaw, and poll through the leverage.
Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
