Trust Water Snaffle Leather Straight Bar 20mm 12.5

Trust Snaffle Bit Loose Ring Leather Straight Bar 20mm 12.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and especially large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shires horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Snaffle Bit Loose Ring Leather Straight Bar 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Snaffle Bit Loose Ring Leather Straight Bar 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with loose ring sides. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Side Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two free-running rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Snaffle Bit Loose Ring Leather Straight Bar 20mm 12.5 is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

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.

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Practically every horse "likes the taste"! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and saliva production. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thereby 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-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.

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.
