The Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Combination Hackamore. A sweet iron snaffle mouthpiece and movable mechanism. This bit is a great choice that can be used for all horses. This mouthpiece is suitable for horses that love the sweet taste of sweet iron.

The Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Combination Hackamore  works by applying pressure to the nose as well as the mouth. Fitted with adjustable screw in stoppers. A key allows you to set the movement of the mouthpiece. This comes supplied with the bit.

This therefore allows the rider to alter the position of where the the bit sets in mouth. The movable mechanism comes in short shank and long shank.

The longer shank applies more pressure to the nose. The shorter shank reduces the pressure to the nose. This can make the hackamore quite a strong and effective bit, when used correctly.

The sweet iron is warm and tastes nice to a horse with its sweeter taste. This bit is designed to rust with use, and therefore giving the sweet taste which many horses prefer. The rust is not harmful to your horse and is therefore at no risk whatsoever.

The Snaffle mouthpiece is a very popular mouthpiece due to the curved mouthpiece. This distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. The offset link in the centre of the bit, will reduce the nut cracker action and pressure points on the tongue. If you are looking for a softer mouth piece. Please see the Inno Sense Flexible Hackamore.

Trust Hand Made Horse Bits From Trust Equine.

A TRUST-bit is completely handmade. All the components are welded together and polished by hand. Heating the sweet iron for a short amount of time, gives it, its beautiful deep blue colour. The final touch is stamping the size and brand name onto the bit.

Both the Inno Sense and leather bits are also handmade in the Netherlands.

Sweet Iron develops surface rust through contact with air and humidity. This rust is sweet in taste and naturally stimulates the saliva production. As it causes the horse to salivate more, it encourages a better acceptance of the bit.

Why choose Sweet Iron For My Horse?

Sweet iron rusts when it comes into contact with the air and humidity. This surface rust tastes sweet and pleasant to a horse. As a result this naturally stimulates the saliva production. Therefore as the horse salivates, so the horse takes better contact with the bit.

Over time the process of oxidation of the bit, causes the bit to rust and change from the blue colour to a brownish iron colour. If not used. The sweet iron bit will develop an orange-brown rust layer on the mouthpiece. Remove by wiping with a damp cloth.
