Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the finest materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features gag eggbutt rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimetres. The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a moderately 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-bloods 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 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 when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterised by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality controlled.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Gag bit with eggbutt rings

This bit combines the advantages of an eggbutt bit and a gag bit. The eggbutt ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag bit.
