Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So, it is 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Side Piece

Full Cheek Bits

The full cheek bit lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral confinement 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.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly 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 lean against the hand.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
