Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for very large warmbloods.

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 typically 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 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 to develop surface rust 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

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit applies more pressure to the tongue.

Cheek piece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which results in the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double-Jointed with Copper Rings 16mm 14.5 lying more quietly in the horse's mouth.
