The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long Straight Bar is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

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

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates salivation. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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.

Cheek Piece

Hackamore

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