The bit series from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure. 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

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.

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.

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

The Hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but exerts pressure on the nose, chin, and poll through its leverage action.
