The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in 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 has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek Piece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw, a pressure development on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The bit allows three different attachment options, which enable 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.
