The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Double-Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Double-Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. This makes horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Double-jointed

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces with internal eyes at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
