Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Bridoon French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's a rather 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 need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
Bridoons for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, consider 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.
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 Bridoon French Link Copper Plate 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Mouthpiece
Bridoon
The bridoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g. eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bridoon is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a solid bar and the bridoon is jointed. French Link
The French Link mouthpiece has two hinge points and an eight-shaped plate in the middle that applies even pressure to the tongue. This mouthpiece has two hinge points, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust develops when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
