The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. 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 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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 towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek piece

3-ring

The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral limitation, leverage and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different buckling options of the rein. Buckled in the lower ring, the giving 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.
