Product description
Trust Bit Curbgag with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually 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 selecting 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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Curbgag with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Curbgag with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called curb gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Side piece
Curbgag
The combination bit, or curb gag, ensures optimal pressure distribution on the lower jaw and mouth and is very well accepted by the horse. The second rein acts like a chin strap, which can be taken up and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that tend to push forward.
Mouthpiece
Bar bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and also salivation. The bit glides easily in the mouth and thus increases well-being. Leather mouthpieces are usually vegetable-tanned and hand-stitched.
Our leather mouthpiece is particularly suitable for young and extremely sensitive horses. Even horses that are absolutely bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak in cooking oil for a few hours before first use. Repeat this process as soon as the leather appears dry. Before each use, you should briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
