Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 13.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.

Side Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Roller Bit 16mm 13.5 cannot move independently of each other, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way 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.
