Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Elevator Olive Head 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Elevator Olive Head 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and features elevator olive head rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissures. It is therefore 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, draft horses, 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 use your fingers to test 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. As leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thereby increasing comfort. 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 readily accept a leather bit and can relearn to confidently approach the bit.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in edible oil for a few hours before the 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 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Elevator Bridle with Olive Head Rings

The bit is a combination of an elevator bridle 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 14.5 can be ridden with one or two reins, like any elevator bridle.
