The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Waterford Bit 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at the thickest point. So it is a rather 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 the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

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