Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblewick Roller Bit 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Roller Bit 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strong 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, cold-bloods, 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Roller Bit 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Kimblehook Roller Bit 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblehook shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Shank

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage on the lower jaw branches, pressure 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 side pieces are a little heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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