The Trust Equestrian bit range provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Straight Kimblehook from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Leather Straight Kimblehook is made of leather and equipped with Kimblewick cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 selecting 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
Leather as a bit material is very well accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thus increasing well-being. Leather mouthpieces are generally 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 readily accept a leather bit and can learn to trust the bit again.
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.

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 for three different attachment options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid cheekpieces are somewhat heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.
