The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison 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 use your fingers to test 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 in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer Information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek piece

Hackamore

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