The bit assortment 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 Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a French Link, meaning an eight-shaped plate as the center piece of a double-jointed mouthpiece. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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, cold-bloods, 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 the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

French Link

The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle that exerts even pressure on the tongue. This mouthpiece is double-jointed, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth.

Cheek Piece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt French Link Copper Plate 16mm 12.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
