The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt High Port 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt High Port 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and features eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a port. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a moderately thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and 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, making horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
Manufacturer Information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
Mouthpiece
Ported Bits
A port is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A ported mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Eggbutt
The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt High Port 16mm 11.5 bit 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 cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
