Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel French Bar
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point. This makes it a moderately strong 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, 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check 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. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Swivel French Bar bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Swivel French Bar bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit Thickness
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 attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in 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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
