Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron D-Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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 the 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 Sweet Iron D-Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron D-Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with D-shaped rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, i.e. an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Side piece

D-Ring

Due to the nature of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a bit inexperienced. This is because the shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral stability is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way 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.
