The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a 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 use your fingers to test 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 are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

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

Cheek Piece

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 well-dosed use of the bit. The stable cheek pieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
