Trust Sweet Iron Dr. Bristol Copper Plate Loose Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm 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, cold-blooded 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Dr. Bristol, meaning a plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which results in the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Dr. Bristol Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 lying more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Dr. Bristol

The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a plate as the center piece. The center plate in a Dr. Bristol is angled and flat-edged. It acts mainly on the tongue with a sharp effect due to the straight, angled plate and with a smaller angle on the bars. This bit can be useful for strong horses or those that lean on the hand.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
