Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, i.e. an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage and lifting action in one bit, usually a little softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways of attaching the reins. When buckled into the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
