Trust Dressage Bit Sweet Iron Weymouth Fixed Medium Port 16mm

A dressage bar is used together with a short bar, the so-called bar and bar tack. This combination is used in the higher dressage classes. The dressage bar is a jaw piece with leverage. The longer the scissors, the sharper the effect. The dressage bar has long scissors and therefore has a sharper effect than the baby dressage bar. For a bar and snaffle combination, a special bar and snaffle bridle is required or an additional cheek piece. In addition, this jaw piece must always be combined with a curb chain to prevent the bit from snapping. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider.

This mouthpiece is a rod with a medium tongue arch. The tongue arch provides more tongue freedom, so that there is no pressure on the tongue but is distributed over the layers. This makes the bit ideal for horses with a sensitive tongue or horses that stick out the tongue. 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) humidity that tastes sweet and stimulates the saliva production of the horse 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 to brown-gray.

The bits of TRUST equestrian are typically Dutch. All bits are designed, developed and handmade in the Netherlands. Every day, a team of technical professionals works on production. The bits are composed with the utmost care and made of 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. The TRUST bits are slightly curved, so that they form 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.
