Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. So it's more of a medium-strong mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire 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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Side Piece
Gag Snaffle
The gag snaffle combines the effect of a gag bit and a D-ring snaffle. The D-ring snaffle restricts the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheekpieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.
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 shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
