Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek High Port 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, High Port, 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's more of a medium-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-bloods, 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, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit, High Port, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

Full Cheek Bits

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

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
