Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Loose Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a rather thick 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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Side Piece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows for flexible attachment of the reins, achieving different leverage effects. The deeper the reins are buckled, the greater the effect on the bit and the horse's poll. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is recessed into the main ring.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
