Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimetres. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draught horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Manufacturer Information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterised by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

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

Loose Ring

The loose ring has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Bar 16mm 12.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
