The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle French Link Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle French Link Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheek snaffle rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a rather 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, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek Piece

Full Cheek Snaffle with Eggbutt Rings

The bit is a combination of a full cheek snaffle and an eggbutt bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The eggbutt ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle French Link Copper Plate can be ridden like any full cheek snaffle with one or two reins.
