Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Full Cheek Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters 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-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 the palate.
The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Full Cheek Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Full Cheek Straight Leather Bar 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with shanks or toggles as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 11.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.
Sidepiece
Full Cheek Snaffles
The full cheek snaffle lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It ensures reliable lateral limitation, without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.
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.
Bit Material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is readily accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit glides 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 completely resistant to snaffles usually accept a leather bit readily 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 to you. Before each use, you should briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.
