Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Double-Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Double-Jointed Bit with Copper Rings 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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, 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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Kimblewick

The Kimblewick combines a leverage action on the lower jaw, pressure distribution 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 stable cheekpieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
