The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Hackamore Combination Long Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Hackamore Combination Long Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing 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 palate.
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 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 be soaked 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.

Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its effect on the bridge of the nose. In addition, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
