Trust bit Sweet Iron eggbutt single jointed

Single-jointed, anatomical Trust Equestrian eggbutt snaffle made from Sweet Iron material, which naturally stimulates saliva production.
Also available as a pony version.

The eggbutt snaffle has fixed rings, ensuring a secure fit in the corners of the horse's mouth. The rings measure approximately 60mm x 70mm. Since the rings do not move freely from one another, the rein aids are applied directly. The eggbutt snaffle is often used on young horses.
The single-jointed bit consists of two pieces that rest in the horse's mouth, each with a bit thickness of 16 mm. With a single-jointed bit, the horse has more tongue freedom than with a double-jointed bit. This creates more pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue.

All Trust bits are anatomically shaped and made for the modern horse's mouth, ensuring a perfect fit.

The Trust Sweet Iron bit develops surface rust through contact with (atmospheric) moisture, which has a sweet taste and naturally stimulates saliva production. This causes the horse to foam more, which in turn leads to better acceptance of the bit. Due to the rusting process (oxidation), the blue color of the Trust bits turns brownish-gray over time.
If a Sweet Iron bit isn't used for a while, an orange-brown layer of rust can form on the mouthpiece. This layer can easily be wiped off with a damp cloth. Of course, surface rust isn't harmful to the horse.

Every Trust bit is entirely handmade in the Netherlands. All components are welded and polished by hand. The Sweet Iron acquires its beautiful deep blue color by briefly heating it. The finishing touch is the hand-hammering of the size stamp and brand name.

Delivery includes a towel for easy storage of the Trust dentures.
