The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Link Mouthpiece bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Link Mouthpiece bit is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Multi-jointed/Waterford
A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, so the rider retains 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, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Waterford Link Mouthpiece bit lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
