Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's commissure. So it is more of 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 choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Shank

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-dosed use of the bit. The solid side pieces are a bit heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as its center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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.
