Features leather mouthpiece

  • Leather bits have the property that it becomes softer when it gets wet due to the saliva in the horse's mouth. This, in combination with the taste of the leather, makes the bit particularly suitable for horses with a sensitive mouth.
  • Leather bits with a metal core are standard bits covered with leather and not flexible.
  • Leather bits from Trust have a flexible nylon core that molds to the horse's mouth and is therefore softer.
  • Regular lubrication with butter prevents drying and keeps the leather supple.

Loose Ring

  • A loose ring snaffle is a basic bit with loose movable bit rings and is therefore quite loose in the mouth.
  • Depending on the type, thickness and material, a loose ring snaffle gets a sharper or softer effect.
  • It is important that the loose ring is not too narrow, otherwise a skin from the corners of the mouth can get in between.
    If your horse does have problems with this, you can use rubber bit rings if necessary.
  • A loose ring snaffle is a good basic bit, suitable for many horses and riders.
