The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Flat Bar Bit 16mm 12.5cm from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Flat Bar Bit 16mm 12.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. 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, draught 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Flat Bar Bit 16mm 12.5cm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
