Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Bit Medium Tongue Arch Bar 12.5 16mm
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire 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.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Bit Medium Tongue Arch Bar 12.5 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Bit Medium Tongue Arch Bar 12.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather medium, i.e. slightly flexible. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Side piece
Olive head
The olive head bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Bit Medium Tongue Arch Bar 12.5 16mm cannot move independently, so that the rider's aid is conveyed directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
