Trust Pony Bit Sweet Iron Eggbutt Double Jointed

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

The pony eggbutt bit features smaller, fixed rings, ensuring a secure fit in the corners of the horse's mouth. The rings measure approximately 45mm x 55mm. Because the rings do not move freely from one another, the rein aids are applied directly. The eggbutt bit is often used with young horses.
The double-jointed bit consists of three pieces located in the horse's mouth, each with a bit thickness of 12 mm. The middle piece of the bit rests on the tongue, exerting more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit.
It's especially important to choose the correct size for a double-jointed bit. If the bit is too large, there's a risk that the joints will touch the corners of the mouth, causing injury to the horse.

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.
