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

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft 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 use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle French Link Copper Plate bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French link, meaning an figure-eight plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

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 various ways of attaching the reins. When buckled into 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 a figure-eight plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, more shaped to 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 have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
