The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Medium Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Bar bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its effect on the bridge of the nose. Additionally, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
