The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today we would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook High Port Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook High Port Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

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

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.

Manufacturer information

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

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.

Cheeks

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines a lever action 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 strapping options, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable cheekpieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
