Trust Beval Straight Leather Snaffle 20mm 11.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 11.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft 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 the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail today:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called Universal rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The 11.5cm mouthpiece size is normally ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheekpiece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheekpieces, with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheekpieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Practically every horse "likes the taste" of 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 with confidence.

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 to you. Before each use, you should briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
