The Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Waterford Link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed. The bit has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Cheekpiece

Kimblewick

The Kimblewick combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw, pressure on the poll and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Kimblewick allows three different ways of attaching it, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a calm position in the mouth.
