The Trust Equestrian bit range provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit, Double-Jointed with High Port, 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit, Double-Jointed with High Port, 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a 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-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Kimblewick

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