The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and functionality. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long double jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long double jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually a good fit for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-strength 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Side piece

Hackamore

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