The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Snaffle Bit, single-jointed, 16mm, 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 choosing 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 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 therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

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.

Cheek piece

Kimblewick

The Kimblewick combines leverage 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, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable cheek pieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
