Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the horse's jowl area. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring side parts. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, i.e. a plate as the central part of a double jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is normally ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Sidepiece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows flexible attachment of the reins, achieving different degrees of leverage. The lower the reins are attached, the greater the effect on the bit and the horse's poll. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is recessed into the main ring.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double jointed mouthpiece with a plate as its central piece. The central plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts primarily on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
