The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 effect than a single jointed or double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

Universal/Swivel

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