Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as a cheekpiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-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, draft horses, 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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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 tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, bars and corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single-jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed rings with an oval shape at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 11.5 lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
