Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Straight 20mm 14.5
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-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The bit assortment 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 Olive Head Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with olive head rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for very large warmbloods.
Side Piece
Olive Head
Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Straight 20mm 14.5 lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
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.
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 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 learn to confidently approach 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.
