Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Gag Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest 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-blooded 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 use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, meaning an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the taking 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 towards 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 are designed so that surface rust develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
