Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draught horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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 present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 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 mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

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

Side piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aid is directly transmitted and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, 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 exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth.

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 they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
