Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar Bit 16mm 13.5
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure area. So it is a medium-strong 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-bloods and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting 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 palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar Bit 16mm 13.5 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 width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.
Cheekpiece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional fastening of cheekpieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.
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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
