Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single broken blocking 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it blocks when rein pressure is applied. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size of 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Shank

Kimblehook

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

Mouthpiece

Locked

The Locked mouthpiece resembles a single-jointed mouthpiece but cannot bend as much as a single-jointed bit. When pressure is applied to the reins, the bit locks and thus becomes a straight bar, making it a sharper bit. When less pressure is applied to the reins, the bit changes back to a single-jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that lean on the hand. The Locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.
