Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring French Link Copper Plate Snaffle 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So, it's more of a medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

Bradoons for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Loose Ring Bradoon French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Sidepiece

Mouthpiece

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available as single and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to one centimeter larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth is a curb bit and the bradoon is jointed. French Link

The French link mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on 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 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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.
