The bit assortment from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Kimblehook 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Kimblehook 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at the thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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 palate.
Bit material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing and salivation. The bit slides easily in the mouth and thus increases 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 accept a leather bit gladly and can relearn to confidently approach the bit.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in cooking oil for a few hours before the first use. Repeat this process as soon as the leather appears dry to you. 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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Kimblewick
The Kimblewick combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll, and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Kimblewick allows three different attachment options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid cheekpieces are a bit heavier, which ensures a calmer position in the horse's mouth.
