Product description
Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Bar Weymouth Straight 20mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. So, it is a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
Weymouth bits for double bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Weymouth Straight 20mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Weymouth Straight 20mm 13.5 is made of leather and equipped with smaller cheek pieces than a Weymouth for double bridles. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for a normal warmblood.
Cheek piece
Mouthpiece
Weymouth
The Weymouth is used in combination with a curb bit. It is available as single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffle bits lies in the rings (e.g. olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The Weymouth is usually chosen half to one cm larger than the curb bit, as the curb bit is a straight bar and the Weymouth is jointed. 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 exceptionally 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 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 gladly accept a leather bit and can relearn to confidently approach 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.
