Trust Sweet Iron Olive Head Dr. Bristol Copper Plate Bit 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strong 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.

Side Piece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed rings of an oval shape at the ends. The fixed rings provide more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 13.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp action due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This mouthpiece helps with strong horses.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.
