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

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

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it 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, cold-bloods 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Cheekpiece

3-ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage and poll pressure in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the reins. Buckled into the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect 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, which 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
