Trust Bit Sweet Iron Curb Gag French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

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

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather 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 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Curbgag French Link Copper Plate Bit 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

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

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Curbgag

The combination bit, or curb gag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a chin strap, which can be taken up and released as needed. This bit is very suitable for particularly strong and forward-going horses.

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 is double-jointed, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat 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 they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
