Trust Sweet Iron Kimblewick Flat Bar 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Flat Bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's cheek area. 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Flat Bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Shanks

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The curb allows three different buckling options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid sides are a little heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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.
