Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblewick single joint blocking 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part near the corners of the horse's mouth. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook single jointed locked 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is locked, meaning it locks when the reins are engaged. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Shank

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 bit allows three different attachment options, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a quiet position in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Locked

The locked mouthpiece is similar to 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 into a single jointed bit. This makes it an ideal bit for horses that push against the hand. The locked mouthpiece is also called a Danger Bit.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
