Sweet Iron Hackamore combi single locked jointed - Trust

The Trust locking single-jointed tandem bit is designed for strong or energetic horses requiring additional control while maintaining light, consistent contact.

Its single-jointed mouthpiece features a locking mechanism that restricts articulation when rein tension increases. It changes from a jointed action to a more stable, direct contact, distributing pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars. This design provides a firmer response when the horse leans on the bit.

Sweet Iron naturally oxidises when exposed to moisture, developing a distinctive taste that encourages chewing and salivation. This material may promote bit acceptance and relaxation of the mouth.

The tandem combines the action of a bit and a hackamore, applying pressure to the nose, mouth and lower jaw through the curb chain. Available with short or long shanks, it allows the leverage effect to be adapted, while curb chain adjustment influences the intensity of the action.

This bit requires precise rein aids and careful adjustment to avoid excessive pressure. A curb chain cover may improve comfort for sensitive horses.

This model runs small. Choosing one size larger than the horse's usual bit size is recommended.

Sweet Iron: Sweet Iron is an alloy that naturally oxidises when exposed to moisture in the horse's mouth and air. This oxidation develops a slightly sweet taste that encourages chewing and saliva production. It can therefore promote bit acceptance, relaxation of the mouth and more consistent contact. Oxidation gradually changes the appearance of the mouthpiece, which is a normal characteristic of this material.
