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 Draw Bit Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Bit Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with draw bit eggbutt rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-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 require 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 check 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

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.

Cheekpiece

Draw Bit with Eggbutt Rings

This bit combines the advantages of an eggbutt bit and a draw bit. The eggbutt ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Draw Bit Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any draw bit.
