The hanging cheek is an eggbut variant where smaller rings are attached on top of the rings. On the upper rings you attach the cheekpieces, and on the eggbut rings the reins. This gives the bit a slight leverage effect. The hanging cheek is often used by pony riders in the highest classes but can also be used to ease the step from a regular snaffle to double bridle.
The Dr. Bristol mouthpiece is a double-jointed mouthpiece with a flat centre piece. The centre plate in a Dr bristol eggbutt is angled and flat edged. Working primarily on the tongue with a sharp action due to the staight edged angled plate, and to a lesser degnee on the bars. It can be useful for strong horses or those that pull.
The Sweet Iron bits are made of steel and have a recognizable blue color. 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 will encourage a better acceptance of the bit.

TRUST bits are composed with the greatest care and made of the best materials, the quality control and standard is therefore very high. TRUST bits are anatomically shaped.
