The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle, Double Jointed, 16mm, 13.5cm is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

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

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle, Double Jointed, 16mm, 13.5cm lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
