Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle French Link Copper Plate

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

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian 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 Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek 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.

Bit thickness

Cheek piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, and is usually a little softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. If the rein is attached in the lower ring, the engaging rein exerts the effect 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 shaped more 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 are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
