Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar 2.5-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with 2.5 ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. 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 usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 the palate.

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. 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 completely averse to bits usually accept a leather bit gladly and can learn to trust the bit again.

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.

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.

Cheekpiece

2.5-Ring

Combines an effective lateral boundary, leverage, and lifting action in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways the reins can be attached. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit.
