Trust Leather Snaffle D-Ring Straight 20mm 11.5

Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar D-Ring 20mm 11.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So it is a rather thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold bloods 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 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 Straight Bar D-Ring 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

D-Ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suited for young horses that are still a bit inexperienced. This is because the shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a quiet and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

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! 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 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 readily accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting 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.
