Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So, it is 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 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 check 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 Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. 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 width of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but it acts primarily on the nose, jaw, and poll due to its leverage.

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 a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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