The Trust Equestrian development team is continuously working on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Roller Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Roller Bit is made of Sweet Iron and features Gag Eggbutt rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.
Bit Thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 are designed 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.
Manufacturer Information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized 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 rigorously quality controlled.
Mouthpiece
single jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Gag Bit Eggbutt Roller Bit has a joint in the middle, which puts 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 widely used.
Cheek Piece
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 Roller Bit can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag bit.
