Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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-bloods and Shire Horses usually require 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Short Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

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

Side piece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but acts more on the nose, chin and poll through 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 retains 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 Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
