Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long single jointed locked 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's commissure. This makes it 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are carefully selected and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long single jointed locked 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination long single jointed locked 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when the reins are engaged. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheek piece

Hackamore

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

Mouthpiece

Locked

The locked mouthpiece resembles a single jointed mouthpiece, but cannot bend as much as a single jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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.
