Trust Beval Gag Bit Straight Leather 20mm 13.5

Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point, making it 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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, consider 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Leather Bar Beval Straight 20mm 13.5 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 13.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.

Cheek Piece

Universal/Swivel

The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces with internal eyelets at the top and bottom. These allow for additional fastening of cheek pieces 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 readily accepted by many horses. 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 glides 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 averse to snaffles usually accept a leather bit and can relearn to approach the bit confidently.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in edible 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.
