Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblewick double jointed with copper rings 16mm 11.5

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft 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 the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblewick double jointed with copper rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblewick double jointed with copper rings 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Kimblewick

The Kimblewick combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Kimblewick allows for three different attachment options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side parts ensure a calm position in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, 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. This bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so 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.
