Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combi Long Locked - innovative combi hackamore with a sweet iron, locked mouth piece and long shanks. This cheekpiece is a combination of a hackamore and a bit. The hackamore combination is a cheekpiece with leverage and gives pressure on the nose, chin and in the mouth. The longer the shanks of the hackamore the stronger the effect. This combination with long shanks has a sharper effect than the hackamore combi short. These bits are often used with very enthusiastic horses in the ring. Sweet iron will rust when in contact with (air) humidity. The surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which will encourage the horse to take more contact. The process of rusting (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the Trust-bit to a brownish-grey. A sweet iron but will develop an orange-brown rust layer on the mouthpiece if it is temporarily not used. This is easily removes by wiping it off with a damp cloth.
