Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle French Link Copper Plate
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle French Link Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Sweet Iron Gag Snaffle French Link Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with gag cheeks as side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit thickness
Side Piece
Gag snaffle
The gag snaffle combines the effect of a gag bit and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle limits the horse sideways and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheek pieces 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 applies even pressure to 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 were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
