The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which is an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
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.

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 is double-jointed, shaped more towards the mouth, and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth.
Cheekpiece
3-Ring
The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and upward action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. Attached in 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.
