Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and crafted from the finest materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Leather Bar Elevator Bit, Olive Head, Straight, 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a bit more detail:

The Trust Leather Bar Elevator Bit, Olive Head, Straight, 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for a normal warmblood.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. 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 typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is exceptionally high. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing activity and saliva flow. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thereby increasing comfort. Leather mouthpieces are typically 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 accept a leather bit gladly and can relearn to approach the bit with confidence.

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.

Cheekpiece

Elevator Bit with Olive Head Rings

This bit combines the advantages of an olive head bit and an elevator bit. The olive head ring provides more lateral stability in the horse's mouth. The Trust Leather Bar Elevator Bit, Olive Head, Straight, 20mm 13.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bit.
