Trust Curbgag Leather Bit Mode of Action: These bits act on three different points on the horse's head: via the tongue on the lower jaw, through the leverage of the cheek pieces on the neck and via the curb chain on the lower jaw. The rein aid is distributed over the various pressure points on the horse's head. This enables the rider to have better influence and control, e.g. with strong or stormy horses. Correct basic training and rideability should be a prerequisite for using such bits. Since the horse's lower jaw is very sensitive and only covered with a thin layer of skin, a curb chain pad should always be used as a cushion. Leather Bits: The leather bits are a remarkable appearance in the TRUST Collection. The core is made from reinforced nylon. The leather, which is hand-sewn around the core, is naturally tanned without chemicals. Saliva formation makes the leather softer and therefore more pleasant for the horse. The flexible effect in combination with the taste of the leather makes the bit extremely suitable for horses with a sensitive mouth. In addition, we notice that mares like the taste of the leather and therefore accept the bit well. Tip: The leather bit is easy to keep flexible by regularly smearing it with some olive oil. Note: make sure that the stitching points to the outside, towards the opening of the mouth. Thickness: 20mm Sizes: 11.5cm, 12.5cm, 13.5cm or 14.5cm
