The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize bit design and effectiveness. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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

Mouthpiece

French Link

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

Cheekpiece

Kimblewick

The Kimblewick combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw, a pressure distribution on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Kimblewick allows for three different attachment options, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid cheekpieces are slightly heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.
