The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combi Long Eliptical is designed for riders who need enhanced control over spirited horses, especially on the trail. This combination bit integrates the strength of a hackamore with a double-jointed mouthpiece, applying leverage to the nose, chin, and mouth. The long shanks create a sharper effect than shorter hackamore combinations, making it ideal for experienced riders needing firm guidance.
The elliptical, double-jointed mouthpiece has two pivot points, conforming comfortably to the horse’s mouth while distributing pressure across the tongue, bars, and mouth corners. Horses with narrow jaws may require special attention, as the hinge points could add extra pressure to sensitive areas. Compared to single-jointed bits, this design places more emphasis on tongue relief, which is beneficial for horses with sensitive tongues.
Made from Trust’s signature sweet iron, this bit develops a sweet-tasting surface rust over time, encouraging salivation for better bit acceptance. The blue color will transition to a warm brown-gray as part of the natural oxidation process.
