Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So, it's more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 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 Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits.

Cheek Piece

Hackamore

The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its effect on the bridge of the nose. Additionally, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is more shaped towards the mouth, and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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.
