Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French link, an eight-shaped plate in the middle of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust 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 is double-jointed, shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.
Sidepiece
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses the effect on the bridge of the nose. In addition, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
