Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lips. So it's more of a thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, meaning an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is normally ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Universal/Swivel

The Universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces with inner eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is fixed on a central axis of the ring.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on 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 have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
