Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed 16mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 cannot move independently, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly, and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this cheek piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits as a result.
