The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which is an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Sidepiece

Hackamore

The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth, but exerts its effect more on the nose, chin groove and poll through the shanks.
