Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Swivel Straight 20mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. So, it is rather a thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Leather Bar Swivel Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Swivel Straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with so-called Universal rings. 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.
Cheek Piece
Universal/Swivel
The universal bit, also called Beval or Swivel, usually has rings as cheek pieces with internal loops at the top and bottom. These allow for additional attachment of cheek pieces and reins, making the bit very flexible. With the Beval, the mouthpiece is attached to a central axis of the ring.
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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Leather
The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and saliva production. The bit glides 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 absolutely bit-shy 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.
