Trust Loose Ring Snaffle Straight Leather Mouth

Trust Snaffle Bit with Straight Leather Mouthpiece

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it 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 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 Snaffle Bit with Straight Leather Mouthpiece from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Snaffle Bit with Straight Leather Mouthpiece is made of leather and equipped with snaffle cheekpieces, i.e., rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Cheekpiece

Snaffle

A loose running ring indicates a snaffle bit. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Trust Snaffle Bit with Straight Leather Mouthpiece is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Leather

The acceptance of leather bits is exceptionally high. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. 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 completely bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit 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 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.
