Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long Flat Bar 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore combination long straight bar 16mm 11.5

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.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods 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 thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually a good fit for athletic thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Hackamore

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

Mouthpiece

Straight bar bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight 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.
