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 Bar Hackamore Combination Long Straight from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Leather Bar Hackamore Combination Long Straight is made of leather and equipped with Hackamore shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.
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, cold-blooded 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit Material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and salivation. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thus 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 bit-shy usually accept a leather bit gladly and can relearn to approach the bit confidently.
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
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.
Shank
Hackamore
The hackamore is a bitless bridle that focuses its action on the bridge of the nose. Additionally, when the reins are taken up, it also acts on the poll and chin groove.
