Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken 12mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thin 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-broken. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Side piece
Eggbutt
Eggbutt bits have fixed rings in an oval shape at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Double Broken 12mm 11.5 lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
Mouthpiece
Double-broken
The double-broken mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. Compared to a single-jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
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.
