Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Straight 20mm 11.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Olive Head Straight 20mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest 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 selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Olive Head Straight 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Olive Head Straight 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with gag olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Gag with Olive Head Rings

The bit is a combination of a gag and an olive head bit, brought together to utilize the advantages of both types of bits. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Bit Leather Bar Gag Olive Head Straight 20mm 11.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any gag bit.

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 exceptionally high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thereby 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 completely resistant to bits usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn to approach the bit confidently.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked 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.
