Trust Sweet Iron jointed D-ring bit 16mm

The Sweet Iron D-ring is bit with a fixed cheek piece in relation to the mouth piece, the bit offers more moderate lateral control. When pressure is placed on the reins the mouthpiece gives blocking effect in one direction and will work as a straight mouthpice. This bit is not suitable for unexperienced riders. 

The D-ring:

The D-ring bit  gives the rider more leverage with making turns. The D shaped rings give more pressure on the horses cheeks and  make sure that the rider can't pull the bit through the horses mouth. This makes the D-ring bit useful for schooling young horses. It is a bit which lies stable and calm in the mouth of the horse. The D-ring  bit is a bit sharper than a snaffle or eggbut.

The trust bit types,The Sweet Iron:

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the TRUST-bit to a brownish-grey.If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may develop on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.
