The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we'd like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

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

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically 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 selecting 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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms upon 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 innovation 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 controlled for quality.

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.

Cheek Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with High Port 16mm 13.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly, and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this cheek piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
