Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Broken 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's lip area. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire 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 the palate.

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 Eggbutt Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as a sidepiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed 16mm 12.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single-jointed bits.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
