The Trust Equestrian team is continuously working on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel medium bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Swivel medium bar 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 size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather medium-strong mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
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 the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust upon 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 called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as a cheek piece, 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.
