Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Eliptical

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

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

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