The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks or snaffles as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

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

Cheekpiece

Full Cheek Snaffles

The full cheek snaffle 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.
