The leather bits are a remarkable addition to the TRUST collection. The leather is hand-stitched around the reinforced nylon core and tanned without chemicals. The round construction is also unique. Due to saliva production, the leather mouthpiece becomes softer and gradually moulds to the horse’s mouth. Experience shows that many horses find this very comfortable. The flexible action combined with the taste of the leather makes this bit extremely suitable for horses with sensitive mouths. In addition, we notice that mares particularly like the taste of the leather and therefore accept the bit well. Please note: Always ensure that the stitching faces outward from the mouth when using the bit. Unlike metal mouthpieces, leather mouthpieces are softer. This is exactly what most horses appreciate about these mouthpieces. When the mouthpiece rests correctly on the bars, damage to the mouthpiece is quite unlikely, although not impossible, for example due to very sharp teeth. Maintenance: The leather bit can easily be kept supple by regularly applying olive oil.
