Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-strength 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-blooded 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 the palate.

The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, meaning an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very frequently used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle, which applies even pressure to the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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