Trust Sweet Iron Kimblewick Snaffle single jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit, single-jointed, 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a moderately strong 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, consider the anatomical features 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 Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit, single-jointed, 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Shanks

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook bit 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 shanks are somewhat heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. Along with the double-jointed mouthpiece, the single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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