Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Inno Sense Draw Gag Tongue Port Bar Hard 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Inno Sense Draw Gag Tongue Port Bar Hard 20mm 12.5 is made of plastic and features gag cheeks as the side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather hard, almost rigid. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. 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 typically 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, meaning no plasticizers are used, and it is well-tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can slide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva production.

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.

Cheek Piece

Draw Gag Bit

The draw gag bit is a combination of a gag bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit restricts the horse laterally and provides stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag bit is connected to the bridle via gag cheeks that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a levered action depending on the degree of rein engagement.
