The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring | Double Jointed | Large | 16mm is designed to offer a soft and dynamic connection while allowing greater movement in the horse’s mouth. The loose rings enable the bit to move freely, encouraging relaxation, chewing, and a supple contact. Because of the free-moving rings, the rider’s aids are delivered in a softer and more elastic way compared to bits with fixed cheekpieces.

The double jointed mouthpiece has two pivot points, allowing it to conform more easily to the horse’s mouth. It distributes pressure over the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth, making it milder and more comfortable compared to a single jointed bit. This design encourages the horse to stay relaxed and soft in the hand.

The Sweet Iron material used for the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture, producing a sweet taste that stimulates saliva production. This process improves bit acceptance and helps the horse to stay relaxed. Over time, the distinctive blue color of Sweet Iron changes to a brownish-grey as part of the natural oxidation process.

The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring | Double Jointed | Large | 16mm is ideal for horses that benefit from a softer, more mobile bit and for riders who seek to promote a relaxed, elastic contact.
