The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Double Jointed Bit 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison 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, consider the anatomical features 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates salivation. As a result, horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw, pressure on the poll, and a change in the bit's position in the horse's mouth. The bit allows for three different attachment options, enabling a well-measured use of the bit. The solid cheekpieces are slightly heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.
