The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it 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-bloods, 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so 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 Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
