The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Straight Elevator Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Straight Elevator Bit is made of leather and equipped with elevator bit rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. 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 Shire 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.

Bit material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Practically every horse "likes" it! 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 absolutely bit-shy usually gladly 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 soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.

Manufacturer Information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed further by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.

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.

Side piece

Elevator bits

The elevator bit can be ridden with two reins. The second rein, with increased pressure, 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 usable for horses to achieve increased head carriage.
