The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Rollers 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit with Rollers 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-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 choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in 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

Single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Side Piece

Full Cheek

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