Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Leather Bar Olive Head Straight bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Leather Bar Olive Head Straight bit is made of leather and features olive head rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit thickness
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure. 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 selecting 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
The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. 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 averse to bits usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn a trusting approach to the bit.
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
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
Olive head
Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Trust Leather Bar Olive Head Straight bit lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
