The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize bit design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather 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, draft 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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 readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 bit lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
