Trust Sweet Iron French Link Snaffle with Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So, it's more of a medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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 bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with elevator 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 bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size of 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheek Piece

Elevator Bits

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means a reinforced effect. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.

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 to the mouth, and sits a bit 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
