Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Hackamore Combination Long Straight 20mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly 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. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Hackamore Combination long straight 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Hackamore Combination long straight 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Cheek Piece
Hackamore
The hackamore has no mouthpiece in the horse's mouth but acts more on the nose, chin groove, and poll through the shanks.
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.
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 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 bridle-sour usually accept a leather bit willingly and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.
Leather care instructions: 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.
