The bit series from Trust Equestrian provides gentle but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Inno Sense Gag Bit Straight Bar Medium 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Inno Sense Gag Bit Straight Bar Medium 20mm 13.5 is made of plastic and equipped with gag cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather medium, meaning it is slightly flexible. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually suitable for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. 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 choosing 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, which means no plasticizers are used and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can glide 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.

Side Piece

Gag Bit

A gag bit combines the action of a gag and a full cheek snaffle. The full cheek snaffle limits the horse laterally and provides stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The gag is connected to the bridle via gag cheek pieces, which are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein contact.
