Sweet Iron Hackamore combi single locked jointed short shanks - Trust

The Trust single jointed tandem bit slightly reduces the risk of a “nutcracker” effect on the tongue and palate thanks to its slightly flattened center olive. It offers a gentle, relaxing action with its alloy but becomes more direct and precise when contact is made by locking. The locking mechanism eliminates the risk of pinching the tongue and discomfort in the palate. The fineness of the break and the thickness of the barrel make this bit relatively comfortable. The locking of the barrel encourages the horse to remain in light contact. It is an interesting bit for achieving light contact and a horse that carries itself and mobilizes its hindquarters. 

The tandem bit is a combination of a hackamore and a bit. It acts on the nose and the jaw via the curb chain. This bit must be used with great precision and allows horses with a lot of strength and energy to be controlled. The curb chain allows for more precise adjustment of the bit's leverage; the tighter it is, the stronger its action. It distributes the pressure on the jaw. It is recommended to use curb chain guards for sensitive horses. Please note that this bit runs small. We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual size.
