Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Gag 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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.

The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines a leverage effect 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 solid side parts are slightly 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
