Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit medium bar 16mm 11.5

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 the palate.

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 Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit medium bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit medium bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimetres.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Side piece

Full cheek bits

The full cheek bit 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 bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.

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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
