The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So it is rather a thick mouthpiece.

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

When choosing 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.

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.

Mouthpiece

Straight bar bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Side piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways of attaching the reins. When buckled into the lower ring, the engaging rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
