Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 13.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather moderately strong 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Cheeks

Loose Ring Snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 13.5 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 exerts even pressure on 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

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