Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Jointed Bit: Ideal for Young and Spirited Horses
The Trust Sweet Iron Full Cheek Jointed Bit is designed with two transverse bars on the cheek pieces, providing increased pressure on the horse's cheeks. This unique design helps improve agility by preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth, ensuring more stability and control. It also ensures that the bit lies quietly and stably in the horse’s mouth.
This bit is particularly suitable for young horses, as the pressure distribution offers better comfort, or for spirited horses to prevent the bit from sliding or pulling through their mouths during intense movements. The cheek piece design of the Trust bit has bars that are slightly bent outwards, preventing them from making contact with the side of the horse’s head, which helps avoid injuries. It’s essential to hang the bit with the bars facing outward to ensure the horse’s comfort and prevent wounds.
Made of steel, the Sweet Iron bits have a distinctive blue color that develops surface rust when exposed to air and moisture. This rust process gives the bit a sweet taste, naturally stimulating the horse’s saliva production. This results in the horse foaming more, which enhances the bit’s acceptance and comfort. As the bit undergoes oxidation, the blue color transitions to a brown-gray hue, providing a natural aging effect.
