Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Weymouth Bradoon Straight 20mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point, making it 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.
Weymouth bradoons usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
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.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Weymouth Bradoon Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Olive Head Weymouth Bradoon Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with smaller side parts as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 14.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Side Piece
Mouthpiece
Weymouth Bradoon
The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g. olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to a whole cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a bar and the bradoon is jointed. 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.
Bit Material
Leather
The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit slides easily in the mouth, thereby 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 completely resistant to snaffles usually gladly accept a leather bit and can learn to trust the bit again.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked 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 soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
