Trust Bevel Bit Leather Bar Straight 20mm 12.5

Trust Leather Beval Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5

The bit has a thickness of 20mm, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. 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 generally suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 Leather Beval Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range today:

The bit Trust Leather Beval Snaffle Straight 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called Universal Rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece size of 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also known as Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces, with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, which makes 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

The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing activity and saliva flow. 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 accept a leather bit willingly and can relearn a confident 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 briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
