Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its widest point in the horse's lips. This means it is a medium-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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short French Link Copper Plate is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the middle piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Hackamore

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

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 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 are designed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
