Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Bradoon Snaffle Straight
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 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.
Bradoons for Weymouth bridles usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.
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.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Bradoon Snaffle Straight from the Trust Equestrian range in a little more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Leather Bar Bradoon Snaffle Straight is made of leather and equipped with smaller side pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bridles. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bradoon
The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bridle. It is available as single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g. eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the Weymouth, as the Weymouth is a straight bar and the bradoon 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 effect than a single jointed or double jointed mouthpiece.
Bit material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and saliva flow. The bit slides 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 absolutely bit-sour usually accept a leather bit willingly and can relearn to approach the bit confidently.
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.
