Trust Eggbutt snaffle dr. Bristol

Trust Eggbutt snaffle dr. Bristol. Trust Eggbutt snaffle dr. Bristol made from blue sweet iron. This bit has a center control plate mouthpiece set at a 45 degree angle to follow the contours of the horse’s tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.

All Trust bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

• oxidises easily
• encourages salivation
• helps bit acceptance
• is warm and sweet Please note the blue will fade with use.

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the TRUST-bit to a brownish-grey. If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may develop on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.
