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

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

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with loose ring cheeks. 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 width of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring

The loose ring bit has two free-running rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 11.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

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 somewhat 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.
