The Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combi Short Locked is the ideal choice for controlling strong, enthusiastic horses, combining the benefits of a hackamore with a medium ported bit. This unique design distributes pressure evenly over the nose, chin, and mouth, offering both control and comfort. The short shanks provide leverage without excessive sharpness, making it a gentler option than longer hackamores while still delivering effective control, especially useful for spirited horses on course.
The mouthpiece features a rod with a medium port, providing extra tongue freedom and relieving pressure on the tongue—perfect for horses with sensitive tongues or those prone to sticking out their tongues. Crafted from sweet iron, this bit naturally oxidizes, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and enhances bit acceptance. Over time, the blue finish will age to a warm brown-gray.
