Trust Sweet Iron Loose Ring Snaffle with Rollers 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's commissure. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Sidepiece

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 Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
