The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 bit 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 mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This rust 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 that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek 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. If the rein is attached to the lower ring, the giving 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.
