Trust Sweet Iron Kimblewick bit medium port 16mm 11.5

Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit with Medium Bar 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and 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 Sweet Iron Kimblehook Bit with Medium Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Shank

Kimblehook

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

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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.
