The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Straight 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Straight 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with gag rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Practically every horse "likes the taste" of it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and salivation. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thus increasing well-being. Leather mouthpieces are generally 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 accept a leather bit willingly 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 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Gags

The gag bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, causes the bit to tip and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means increased action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. The bit also supports the horse's natural self-carriage.
