Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Olive Head Dr. Bristol Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Olive Head Dr. Bristol Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which means a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shires 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

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

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as its center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts primarily on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that go against the hand.

Cheek Piece

Olive Head

Olive head bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Olive Head Dr. Bristol Copper Plate lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
