Key Features and Benefits
The Trust 2.5 Ring Elliptical Bit is designed with a double-jointed mouthpiece, offering two hinges for a more comfortable fit. This design exerts pressure on the tongue, layers, and corners of the mouth, making it ideal for horses with narrow lower jaws. The 2.5-ring cheekpiece provides a milder leverage effect compared to a 3-ring (Pessoa) cheekpiece, with pressure points on the poll just behind the ears.
Material and Design Specifications
Crafted from sweet iron, this bit naturally stimulates saliva production, encouraging better acceptance. The sweet iron oxidizes to a brownish-grey, enhancing its appeal. Each bit is handmade, with components welded and polished by hand, ensuring high-quality standards.

Comparison with Other Bit Types
Compared to single-jointed bits, the Trust 2.5 Ring Elliptical exerts more pressure on the tongue, making it a suitable choice for horses needing more control. Its milder leverage effect is ideal for transitioning horses to more advanced training.
