Trust Equestrian Bits Material

Which materials to choose from: Trust Equestrian

TRUST Equestrian offers an extensive range of bits, allowing you to select the ideal combination of cheekpiece and mouthpiece. Their bits are available in three main mouthpiece materials, each offering various options to suit different needs. Let’s begin by exploring the unique features of these three materials.

Sweet Iron

The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity, the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more, which in turn will encourage a better acceptance of the bit. The process of rusting (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits to a brownish-grey. This is the desired effect of the Sweet Iron bits. If a Sweet Iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may form on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

Sweet Iron bits are suitable for all horses. Sweet Iron helps the horse to salivate more, which will encourage a better acceptance of the bit.

Inno sense

Bits from the Inno Sense collection can be used for every horse and are particularly suitable for young horses and/or horses with a sensitive mouth. The synthetic material is FDA approved, which means the material does not contain plasticizers and is non-toxic to people and animals.

Horses that are ridden with an Inno Sense bit follow the hand easily and accept the bit smoothly.

Leather

The leather bits are a remarkable sight in the TRUST equestrian collection. The core of the leather bit is made of reinforced nylon. The leather that is stiched around this core, is naturally tanned without chemicals. The saliva production softens the leather bit and makes it more pleasant for the horse. The round contstruction and the flexibility of the leather mouthpiece are unique. The flexibility in combination with the taste of the leather, makes the bit particularly suitable for horses with a sensitive mouth. In addition, we notice that mares like the taste of the leather and therefore accept the bit well.

Tip: Apply olive oil to the leather bit regulary to keep it supple.

Attention: make sure that the stitching points to the outside, i.e. to the opening of the mouth.
