The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

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