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 Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook 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 bit has a width of 14.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.

Mouthpiece

French Link

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

Cheekpiece

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines a leverage effect 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, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a quiet position in the mouth.
