Trust Sweet Iron Snaffle Olive Head French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's more of a thick 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as cheekpieces. 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 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

Olive Head

Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 14.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

French Link

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

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
