Product description
Trust Bit Curbgag with Leather Bar Straight 20mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point, making 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-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Curbgag with Leather Bar Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Curbgag with Leather Bar Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called Curbgag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large 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 chin strap that can be taken up and released as needed. It is very suitable for horses that tend to push forward.
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. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. 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 resistant to bits usually accept a leather bit gladly 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 the 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.
