Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Eliptical

We love this bit because it is a staple to have in your tack room!

The snaffle bit is a standard jaw piece. This jaw piece has loose rings which allow the bit to move more freely in the mouth, so many horses accept this bit well. Because the rings move freely, aids come through less directly than with, for example, a snaffle bit. To prevent skins from getting between the moving rings, it is recommended to provide the bit with bit rings.

The double-jointed bit has two hinge points, is shaped more to the mouth, and lies a bit looser in the mouth. This bit acts on the tongue, layers, and corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws, the hinge points can then press on the layers, which can cause wounds. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit acts more on the tongue. A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece.

The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with (air) moisture that tastes sweet and stimulates the horse’s saliva production naturally. This will cause the horse to foam more, which ensures better acceptance of the bit. This rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue color of the TRUST bits to brown-grey. 

*Due to the contagious nature of the equine disease EHV-1 and per biosecurity measure guidelines suggested by the American Association of Equine Practitioners, The Farm House will no longer accept returns on bits and bit accessories.
