The range of bits 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 Olive Head Bit Tongue Arch Bar Medium 14.5 16mm from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Olive Head Bit Tongue Arch Bar Medium 14.5 16mm is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather medium, meaning slightly flexible. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is rather 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses usually need 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 test with your fingers 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 when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.
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.
Sidepiece
Olive head
Olive head bits have fixed, oval rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Olive Head Bit Tongue Arch Bar Medium 14.5 16mm lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
