Product description
Trust Bit Hackamore Combi short with leather bar straight 20mm 13.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 greatest care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Hackamore Combi short with leather bar straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:
The Trust Bit Hackamore Combi short with leather bar straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece size 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that places the main point of action on the bridge of the nose. In addition, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
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 readily accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. As leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing. 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 completely resistant to bits usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked 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 soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
