The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek French Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek French Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's commissures. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire 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 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 continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

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.

Cheek 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 the skin and commissures due to the angled shanks. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
