Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally a good fit for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So it is rather a 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, cold-blooded horses and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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

single jointed

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 16mm 13.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Cheek Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, 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 different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.
