Trust Sweet Iron Wide Port Segunda Dee Bit: Comfort and Control for Young Horses
The Trust Sweet Iron Wide Port Segunda Dee Bit is designed with a D-shape that provides stability and quietness in the horse’s mouth. The D-rings ensure the mouthpiece stays securely in place, while the pressure from the D-shape against the horse's cheek naturally encourages the horse’s head to move in the right direction. This makes the Wide Port Segunda Dee Bit an excellent option for young horses or those in training, as it helps with steering and minimizes the chance of the bit being pulled through the mouth.
The Wide Port Segunda features a double-jointed mouthpiece with a tongue arch, designed to reduce pressure on the horse’s tongue. Unlike other tongue-arching mouthpieces, this design allows for lateral flexibility, giving the horse some movement and reducing the chance of leaning or pulling the tongue over the bit. The tongue arch also creates additional pressure points on the tongue, offering more control when needed. This innovative design makes the Wide Port Segunda Dee Bit ideal for horses that are learning to maintain a steady contact without relying on excessive tongue pressure.
The Sweet Iron material used in the bit is crafted from high-quality steel with a distinctive blue color. As the bit comes into contact with moisture (such as from the horse’s saliva), it develops a layer of surface rust that produces a sweet taste. This natural oxidation process encourages the horse to produce more saliva, increasing bit acceptance and comfort during rides. Over time, the blue color of the bit will gradually change to a brown-gray hue as the oxidation process continues, but the sweet taste remains, improving the horse’s willingness to work with the bit.
