Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strong 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 selecting 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.

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 Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimetres.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Hackamore

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

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, so the rider maintains proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

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.
