Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Loose Ring Leather Mouthpiece Straight 20mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Loose Ring Leather Mouthpiece Straight 20mm 13.5 bit is made of leather and features loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

Bit Material

Leather

Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing activity and salivation. 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 completely resistant to bits usually accept a leather bit and can relearn to approach the bit with confidence.

Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak 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.

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.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring

The loose ring has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Loose Ring Leather Mouthpiece Straight 20mm 13.5 bit is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
