Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Hackamore Combination Long French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Hackamore cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
