Trust Leather Bar 3-Ring Gag Bit Straight

Trust Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Bit Straight

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 palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Bit Straight from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The Trust Leather Bar 3-Ring Snaffle Bit Straight is made of leather and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines an effective lateral boundary, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various ways the rein can be attached. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

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

Bit Material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is exceptionally high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and also salivation. The bit slides 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 resistant to snaffles usually accept a leather bit gladly and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.

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 to you. Before each use, you should soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
