Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle 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 especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.

Sidepiece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and a lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the taking 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.

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" it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing activity and saliva production. The bit glides easily in the mouth and thus increases well-being. Leather mouthpieces are usually vegetable-tanned and hand-stitched.

Our leather mouthpiece is particularly suitable for young and extremely sensitive horses. Even absolutely bit-sour horses usually readily accept a leather bit and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak 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.
