Trust leather bar bit 2.5-ring snaffle straight 20mm 12.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5

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 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.

The Trust Equestrian Team is continuously working on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

2.5-Ring

A 2.5-ring bit allows flexible attachment of the reins, achieving different degrees of leverage. The deeper you attach the reins, the greater the effect on the bit and poll of the horse. With the 2.5-ring bit, the lower ring is embedded in the main ring.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" them! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates saliva production and chewing activity. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thus 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 absolutely bit-shy 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 briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
