Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Locked 16mm

The snaffle bit is a standard jaw piece. This jawpiece has loose rings which allow the bit to move more freely in the mouth, so many horses accept this bit well. Because the rings move freely, aids come through less directly than with, for example, a snaffle bit. To prevent skins from getting between the moving rings, it is recommended to provide the bit with bit rings. The locked mouthpiece resembles a single jointed bit but cannot fold in half as much as a normal single jointed bit. Back pressure blocks the bit, turning it into a rod and making it a sharper bit. With less pressure on the reins, the bit changes back to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that are against the hand and run through the hand. This bit is not suitable for an inexperienced rider. The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with (air) moisture that tastes sweet and stimulates the horse's saliva production in a natural way. This will cause the horse to foam more, which ensures better acceptance of the bit. This rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits into brown-grey. The bits of TRUST equestrian are traditionally Dutch. All bits are designed, developed and handmade in the Netherlands. A team of technical professionals works on the production every day. The bits are composed with the greatest care and made from the best materials. The quality control and standard are therefore very high. With every design, the balance between shape, material and weight is continuously taken into account. TRUST's bits are slightly curved so that they mold better to the horse's mouth. Due to this anatomical shape, the bit lies better in the mouth and the pressure is better distributed. Due to the wide choice of mouthpieces, jaw pieces and materials, TRUST strives to have a suitable bit for every horse.
