Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Medium Port 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Medium Bar 16mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest 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 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, consider the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

A mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Shank

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw, 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, enabling a precisely dosed use of the bit. The solid side pieces are somewhat 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been designed so that surface rust develops upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
