Trust Equestrian Sweet Iron Full Cheek Bit Double Jointed

Double-broken, anatomical Trust Equestrian full cheek snaffle made from Sweet Iron material, which naturally stimulates saliva production.

The full bit, also called a gag snaffle, has solid side pieces and therefore sits securely in the corners of the horse's mouth. The side pieces measure approximately 16 cm. Because the rings do not move freely apart, the rein aids are applied directly. The full bit sits securely in the mouth and is therefore suitable for horses with restless or sensitive mouths and horses that break out over the shoulder. The outer side pieces of the full bit create a larger contact area, which makes it easier to ride in turns and to limit the outside rein. The upper sides of TRUST full bits are curved slightly outward to prevent them from getting under the noseband. Full bit bits should be chosen half to one size smaller.

All Trust bits are anatomically shaped and made for the modern horse's mouth, ensuring a perfect fit.

The Trust Sweet Iron bit develops surface rust through contact with (atmospheric) moisture, which has a sweet taste and naturally stimulates saliva production. This causes the horse to foam more, which in turn leads to better acceptance of the bit. Due to the rusting process (oxidation), the blue color of the Trust bits turns brownish-gray over time.
If a Sweet Iron bit isn't used for a while, an orange-brown layer of rust can form on the mouthpiece. This layer can easily be wiped off with a damp cloth. Of course, surface rust isn't harmful to the horse.

Every Trust bit is entirely handmade in the Netherlands. All components are welded and polished by hand. The Sweet Iron acquires its beautiful deep blue color by briefly heating it. The finishing touch is the hand-hammering of the size stamp and brand name.

Delivery includes a towel for easy storage of the Trust dentures.
