The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, meaning a plate as the center piece of a double jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes 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, pay attention to the anatomical conditions 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 developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that lean on the bit.

Cheekpiece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw, pressure on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Kimblehook allows for three different attachment options, enabling a precisely dosed use of the bit. The stable cheekpieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
