The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with olive head rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed 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.

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 has two hinge points, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth.

Cheekpiece

Olive Head

The olive head bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head French Link Copper Plate bit cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aid is directly conveyed and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
