Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. 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 more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually need 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 palate.
The Trust Equestrian team is continuously working on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Sidepiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the reins. When buckled into the lower ring, the giving rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
Mouthpiece
French Link
The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped to 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 in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
