The Trust Equestrian development 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 long single jointed 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long single jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so 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.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but acts primarily on the nose, chin and poll through the leverage.
