Trust Equestrian Bit Swivel Leather

Trust Equestrian Swivel 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.

Beval & Swivel Bit

A Beval bit is a loose ring with extra eyelets on the inside of the bit ring to which the cheekpiece and rein are attached.
A Beval bit has a similar effect to a 2½ & 3 Ring Snaffle, but has a softer effect and less leverage.
A Swivel bit is a "sliding" Beval and presses against the horse's cheek which facilitates maneuverability.

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.
