Product description
Trust Curbgag Bit with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it 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, cold-bloods, and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is typically suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Curbgag Bit with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Curbgag Bit with Straight Leather Bar 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Cheek 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 curb chain, which can be engaged and released as needed. This bit is very suitable for particularly strong and forward-going horses.
Mouthpiece
Straight Bar Bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Leather
The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and also salivation. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thereby increasing 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 completely bridle-sour usually gladly accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.
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.
