About TRUST Equestrian

TRUST Equestrian crafts anatomically shaped bits and thoughtful accessories designed to support soft, reliable communication. Handmade in the Netherlands, the range combines careful engineering with premium materials so horse and rider can build confidence in day-to-day schooling and in the ring.

Why riders choose TRUST

TRUST focuses on comfort first: smooth transitions, even pressure and mouthpieces that sit correctly between tongue and palate. The result is clearer aids and better acceptance—ideal for green, sensitive or experienced horses that benefit from consistent feel.

Materials & mouthfeel at a glance

TRUST offers three material families to suit different preferences. Inno Sense uses an FDA-approved synthetic for a warm, friendly feel; Leather softens with saliva and moulds to the mouth; Sweet Iron develops a light surface oxidation that tastes sweet and encourages salivation for many horses.

Cheek styles & control

Choose a cheek to match your goals: loose ring for mobility and feel; eggbutt or D-ring for stability at the lips; full cheek for lateral guidance. Leverage options (e.g., Pelham, gag) are available for experienced hands and appropriate classes—use the mildest set-up that achieves steady responses.

Fit & sizing basics

Measure width straight across between the inside edges of the rings/cheeks, allowing a small clearance at the lips. Match thickness and mouthpiece shape to your horse’s mouth conformation, prioritising quiet, even contact over sheer thinness or bulk.

Care & longevity

Rinse after riding and periodically deep-clean joints and moving parts. Wipe synthetic or leather mouthpieces gently (avoid abrasives); allow leather to dry naturally. Sweet Iron will change colour with use—this is expected and can help acceptance for many horses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trust Equestrian known for?

Trust Equestrian is a Dutch bit and bridlework specialist founded by brothers Teun and Bas van Riel, with bits designed and handmade in the Netherlands. The brand is known for the Inno Sense, sweet iron and leather bit lines and for innovation in bit shape, mouthpiece design and material - the Inno Sense range uses an FDA-approved synthetic mouthpiece with a stainless steel core, and the sweet iron range relies on natural oxidation to develop the chewing-friendly patina that gives the line its name.

What Trust Equestrian products do you stock?

We carry the Trust range across Inno Sense bits and Inno Sense gag bits, sweet iron bits and sweet iron gag bits, leather bits and leather gag bits, as well as Trust bridlework. Trust's three mouthpiece materials and wide range of mouthpiece and cheekpiece options mean almost any combination is possible - if a specific spec isn't on the site, we can order it in.

Are you an authorised Trust Equestrian dealer in Ireland?

Yes. Equijump Ltd. is an authorised Trust Equestrian dealer in Ireland. Stock comes direct from Trust with full warranty cover.

How do I choose the right Trust Equestrian product for my horse?

Trust's bit lines each suit a different mouth and contact issue. Inno Sense suits horses that benefit from a softer, warmer feel and a flexible mouthpiece, and is a common choice for young horses or horses with a sensitive mouth. Sweet iron suits horses that respond to taste and salivation and accept the natural patina that develops with use. Leather suits horses that need the gentlest possible mouthpiece, often during a return to work or a contact retraining phase. Tell us your horse's current bit and what you're working on and we'll shortlist appropriate Trust options.

How should I care for Trust Equestrian leatherwork?

Trust's leather bits and bridlework care like any quality leather: wipe down after each ride, clean weekly with a mild saddle soap, condition sparingly with a balm. Leather bits in particular benefit from being dried thoroughly before being hung up. Sweet iron bits should be rinsed in warm water and allowed to develop their patina naturally - don't polish them.

Where are Trust Equestrian products made?

Trust bits are designed and handmade in the Netherlands by the company's own production team. A small number of accessories are sourced from partner manufacturers in India and elsewhere; ask us before you order if country of origin matters for a specific item.
