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 Sweet Iron Full Cheek French Bar 16mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek French Bar 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is normally ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 choosing 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed further by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

Bar bits

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

Side piece

Full cheek snaffles

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