The Trust Equestrian Team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Eggbutt and Waterford Mouthpiece from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Eggbutt and Waterford Mouthpiece is made of Sweet Iron and features Eggbutt Elevator rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a Waterford or multi-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

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 rust tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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 rigorously quality-controlled.

Mouthpiece

Multi-jointed/Waterford

A multi-jointed or Waterford mouthpiece consists of a series of rounded links. It is a flexible bit that conforms to the horse's mouth and creates even pressure. It can move in all directions, making it difficult for the horse to lean on the bit, allowing the rider to maintain proper control. In soft hands, this mouthpiece is gentle and kind, but with a strong hand, the bit can be sharp.

Side Piece

Elevator Bit with Eggbutt Rings

The bit is a combination of an elevator bit and an eggbutt bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The eggbutt ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Elevator Bit with Eggbutt and Waterford Mouthpiece can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
