Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a moderately 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, 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 the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Sidepiece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth but primarily acts on the nose, chin, and poll through the shanks.
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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
