The Trust Sweet Iron Hanging Cheek Jointed is a baucher-style bit with mild leverage. Small rings above the main rings are used to attach the cheek pieces, while the reins are connected to the larger rings. This setup provides light leverage and increased stability.

The single-jointed mouthpiece has one hinge point and applies less pressure to the tongue compared to a double-jointed bit. It primarily acts on the bars and sides of the tongue and may also affect the palate. It is considered a standard type of mouthpiece. The diameter of the bit is 16 mm.

Sweet Iron bits are made of blue steel that forms surface rust when exposed to air humidity. This rust has a mildly sweet taste and naturally stimulates salivation, helping the horse to accept the bit more easily. Over time, the bit changes from blue to brown-grey due to oxidation.
