The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet 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, 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit, Single Jointed, 16mm, 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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 its innovative spirit 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 puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

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 Kimblehook allows for three different attachment options, enabling a precisely controlled use of the bit. The stable side parts ensure a calm position in the mouth.
