Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Full Cheek 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Leather Straight Bar Full Cheek 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and features full cheeks or D-rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for a normal warmblood.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft 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 use your fingers to test 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. 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, 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 absolutely bit-shy usually accept a leather bit willingly 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 soak it briefly in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.

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.
Cheekpiece
Full Cheek Bits
The full cheek bit 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.
