The Sprenger Linda Tellington-Jones Stainless Steel Rust-proof 13mm bit is made of stainless steel and features special side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar with a tongue port.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 13mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather thin mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
