Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combi Short - Eliptical

Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combi Long - Eliptical

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are crafted from durable steel and feature a distinctive blue color. This material is designed to encourage natural salivation, enhancing your horse's comfort and promoting better acceptance of the bit.

Eliptical /  Double-Jointed

A double-jointed bit consists of three parts, with the middle section resting on the tongue. This design means the double-jointed bit applies more pressure to the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but it distributes pressure more evenly across the bars and corners of the mouth.

With this bits It’s crucial to choose the correct size for a double-jointed bit. If the bit is too large, the joints may touch the corners of the mouth, potentially causing small wounds.

Hackamore Combi Short

The Hackamore Combi combines a hackamore with a bit, providing leverage through pressure on the nose, chin, and mouth. The strength of the action depends on the length of the shanks and the type of noseband, chin strap, and bit used.

This Hackamore Combi features short shanks, offering a milder effect compared to the long-shanked version. However, due to the leverage, it is a sharp bit and must not be used by inexperienced riders or on young horses. 

Why Proper Sizing Matters

Choosing the correct bit size is essential for your horse’s comfort and performance. A bit that is too small can create painful pressure points and damage the mouth, while a bit that is too large may slide through the horse's mouth, causing discomfort and pinching the corners, potentially leading to wounds. Always ensure the bit fits snugly without being restrictive to keep your horse comfortable and responsive.
