Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point, making 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, consider the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as the cheekpiece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
Eggbutt
The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed 12mm 11.5 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.
Mouthpiece
Single Jointed
The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when exposed to air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
