The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 9.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 9.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 9.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for ponies.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin 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 use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece
Single-jointed
The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 9.5 has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly applies pressure to 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.
Cheek piece
Eggbutt
The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Pony Eggbutt Snaffle Single-Jointed 12mm 9.5 cannot move independently of each other, so that the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stable in the horse's mouth. In addition, this cheek piece does not pinch the horse's corners of the mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
