Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination short medium shank

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Medium Bar

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it's more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses usually need 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

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

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Medium Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, jaw, and poll via the leverage.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.
