Trust Sweet Iron Kimblewick French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more in the range of 10mm to 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 greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Shank

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll, and a change in the bit's position in the horse's mouth. The bit allows three different attachment options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that applies even pressure to the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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.
