Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Bar Bit
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strong mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is rather between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 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 Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Bar bit from the Trust Equestrian assortment in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Bar bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.
Bit thickness
Sidepiece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts primarily on the nose, jaw, and poll due to its 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 in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
