The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or snaffles as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, which is a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore 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 selecting 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 the 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 the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It primarily acts on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Side piece

Full cheek bits

The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It ensures reliable lateral limitation, without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
