The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Elevator Snaffle Straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar Elevator Snaffle Straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with elevator snaffle rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's corners of the mouth. 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-bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 salivation and chewing activity. 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 averse to bits 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 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.

Side Piece

Elevator Snaffles

The elevator snaffle can be ridden with two reins. Increased pressure on the second rein causes the bit to tilt and pull up in the corner of the mouth. This means a reinforced action. Very good for horses that tend to lean on the bit. Also suitable for horses to achieve more uplift.
