Trust Snaffle Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Olive Head Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Straight 20mm 14.5

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-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 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 Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Eggbutt Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with 2.5-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Cheekpiece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and elevating action in one bit, while usually being a bit softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the bottom ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.

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

Leather as a bit material is readily accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! 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 and can relearn to confidently approach the bit.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked 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.
