The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Bar from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

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

Bit Thickness

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

Reference 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 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 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.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts more on the nose, jaw, and poll through the shanks.
