The bit Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French link. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 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 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

French Link Bits

A French link is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A French link mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring

Loose ring bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Bit 16mm 12.5 lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
