Trust Equestrian D-bit Leather

Trust Equestrian D-Bit Leather

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.

D-Snaffle Bit:

As the name implies, the side pieces of a D-snaffle have the shape of a D and therefore cannot be easily pulled through the mouth.
Because of this D shape, more pressure is obtained on the horse's cheeks, which makes maneuverability easier.
This makes the D-snaffle a nice bit for teaching young horses.
Depending on the type, thickness and material, a D-bit gets a sharper or softer effect.

Straight mouthpiece features:

A straight mouthpiece consists of 1 piece and gives pressure on the tongue, layers and lips.
The shape and thickness of the mouthpiece determine where the pressure will be in the mouth.
A straight mouthpiece with a tongue port gives more pressure on the layers and keeps the tongue free.
The straighter and thicker the mouthpiece, the more pressure on the tongue.
