The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, meaning an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

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 palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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 accept Sweet Iron bits well.

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 is double-jointed, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheekpiece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and poll pressure in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. Attached in the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
