The bit range from Trust Equestrian delivers soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to present the Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Elevator Olive Head 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Elevator Olive Head 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. The 12.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making 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 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 the 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 saliva production and chewing activity. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thereby 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 bits usually readily accept a leather bit 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. Before each use, you should soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.

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.

Cheekpiece

Elevator bit with olive head rings

The bit is a combination of an elevator bit 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 Straight Bar Elevator Olive Head 20mm 12.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
