When selecting 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.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Sidepiece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken with Copper Rings 16mm 13.5 cannot move independently, so the rider's aid is directly conveyed and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this sidepiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped 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. The bit should not be used on horses with 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 compared to single jointed bits.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
