The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and features 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making 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, 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" them! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and saliva production. The bit glides 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 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 the first use. Repeat this process as soon as the leather appears dry. Before each use, you should soak it briefly 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

3-Ring

The 3-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When the rein is attached to the lower ring, the engaging rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
