The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to present the Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings straight 20mm 14.5 is made of leather and equipped with loose ring snaffle cheekpieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissures. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
Reference 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 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 the 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 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 bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can relearn to approach the bit with confidence.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in cooking oil for a few hours before the 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.
Manufacturer information
Trust Equestrian
The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by its innovative spirit and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are constantly being developed further by Trust's technical teams and strictly quality-controlled.
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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Loose ring snaffle
The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Loose Ring Snaffle with Large Rings straight 20mm 14.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
