Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the finest materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Straight Bar 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Straight Bar 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with loose ring snaffle side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. So it is rather a thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 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 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 salivation. 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 resistant to bits usually accept a leather bit readily 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.

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.

Side piece

Loose ring snaffle

A loose ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Snaffle Bit Leather Straight Bar 20mm 11.5 is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a "more mobile" bit in the mouth.
