Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multiple link. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Sidepiece
Full Cheek Elevator Bit
The full cheek elevator bit is a combination of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit provides lateral restriction and stability for the horse, and also prevents the bit rings from sliding through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This creates a leverage effect depending on the degree of rein engagement.
Mouthpiece
Multiple Link/Waterford
A multiple link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
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 tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
