The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm 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.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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 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 on 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 has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is shaped more 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 reins. Buckled in the lower ring, the accepting 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.
