Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trial Bit Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trial Bit Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with eggbutt rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally a good fit for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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 choosing 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 in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which applies less pressure to 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. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trial Bit Trust Sweet Iron Eggbutt Single-Jointed 16mm 13.5 lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
