Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Cheek Piece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional buckling of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. In the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
