Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

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.

Mouthpiece

Multiple-jointed/Waterford

A multiple-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
