Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Waterford Snaffle 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Waterford Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. 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 rather between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Kimblehook Waterford Snaffle Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Shank

Kimblehook

The Kimblehook combines leverage 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 three different buckling options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid side parts are slightly heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that molds 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 friendly, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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.
