Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French link. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick 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 need 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Manufacturer Information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

Mouthpiece

French Link Bits

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

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link 16mm 14.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
