The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Snaffle French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 2.5 Ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, which means an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually suitable for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

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

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire 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 use your fingers to test 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

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 towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek piece

2.5-Ring

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