The range of bits from Trust Equestrian provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Eggbutt Straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Eggbutt Straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and features eggbutt rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well-suited for a normal warmblood.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm 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, draft horses, and Shires 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! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing activity and saliva production. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thereby increasing comfort. 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 absolutely bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn to trust the bit.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak in cooking oil for several hours before its 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.
Manufacturer Information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
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.
Cheek Piece
Eggbutt
The eggbutt snaffle is a standard bit. The rings of the Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Eggbutt Straight 20mm 13.5 cannot move independently, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly, and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this cheek piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
