Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick 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 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 team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator bit rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Elevator bit

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also usable for horses to achieve increased collection.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which applies even pressure to the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust occurs upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
