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.

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double-Jointed with Copper Rings is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as a cheekpiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double-Jointed with Copper Rings cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aid is conveyed directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Double-jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more 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. The double-jointed bit applies more pressure to the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
