Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Gag Bit

Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar Bit

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength 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-bloods, 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 test with your fingers 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 Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit 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 a little heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
