Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Long Combination French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. This makes it a rather medium-strength 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 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 palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
