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 straight bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel straight bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a 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, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually require 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
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, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
