Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Waterford Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a rather thick 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 choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test how much space there is between the tongue and palate with your fingers.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Beval Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with so-called universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-link. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal eyes at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached in a central axis of the ring.

Mouthpiece

Multi-link/Waterford

A multi-link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms 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, so the rider retains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
