The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

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 the palate.

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for a normal warmblood.

Shanks

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 side parts ensure a calm position in the 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
