The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt High Port Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5cm bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt High Port Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5cm bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire 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 test with your fingers 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 were developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore 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
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect 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 Mouthpiece 16mm 13.5cm cannot move independently, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
