Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-link. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Multi-link/Waterford
A multi-link or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth, creating even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is soft and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.
Cheekpiece
Eggbutt
Eggbutt bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. The fixed rings provide a bit more stability in the mouth, which results in the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Multi-link Mouthpiece 16mm 12.5 lying more quietly in the horse's mouth.
