About TRUST Leather gag bits

TRUST Leather gags combine a naturally tanned leather mouthpiece—warm to the touch and quick to encourage acceptance—with a cheek design that adds lift and a measure of poll influence for educated, sympathetic hands.

How leather + gag action helps

The leather mouthpiece offers a softer, more familiar feel than bare metal, promoting relaxed chewing. Gag cheeks route the rein to create upward lift at the mouth corners with some poll pressure, helping rebalance keen or long horses without resorting to stronger hand pressure.

Mouthpiece shapes: Mullen & Port

A straight Mullen spreads pressure evenly for a quiet, steady contact. A Port provides tongue room for horses that press, evade or show sensitivity. Choose the mildest shape that maintains an elastic, relaxed connection.

Rein set-ups & nuance

Two reins (main ring + gag ring) give the most finesse: ride mainly from the top rein and add the gag rein only when you need lift. A single rein on the lower ring increases the effect but reduces subtlety; converters are an option, though they simplify the feel.

Fit & sizing for leather gags

Measure width between the inside edges of the cheeks/rings and allow slight clearance at the lips. Ensure the gag cords run freely and the bit sits quietly. Select thickness to suit palate height and tongue volume so the mouthpiece doesn’t crowd the mouth.

Care & inspection

Rinse after riding and wipe the leather gently; allow it to dry naturally away from heat. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives. Check for tooth marks, cracks or loose stitching and replace if the surface is damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Trust Equestrian leather gag bits do you stock?

We carry the Trust leather gag range across the main cheek patterns including loose ring, eggbut, full cheek and curbgag configurations. Each pairs the Trust leather mouthpiece with gag-bit cheek action.
What is the Trust Equestrian leather gag range known for?

Combines the gentlest possible mouthpiece (Trust's leather around a stainless core) with gag cheek action for more control. Useful for horses that need a softer mouthpiece than metal but need more brakes than a snaffle - common in cross-country, hunting, or with strong horses returning to work after lay-off. The leather is the wear surface and replacement is expected.
How do I choose the right Trust Equestrian leather gag for my horse?

Loose Ring Gag is the most mobile in the mouth and the most common starting point. Eggbut Gag adds stability. Full Cheek Gag adds lateral guidance and is harder for the horse to evade. Curbgag adds curb chain action for more pronounced control. Always introduce a gag gradually, starting on the bottom rein only.
How do I size or fit a Trust Equestrian leather gag?

Measure mouth width at the corners and pick a bit that sits with about 5mm clear on each side. The leather mouthpiece tends to feel slightly bulkier than metal at the same nominal width, so confirm comfortable fit without pinching. Cheek-specific rein attachments follow the standard gag patterns.
How do I care for Trust Equestrian leather gag bits?

Wipe the leather mouthpiece down after every ride and dry thoroughly before hanging up. Condition occasionally with a quality leather balm. Inspect for splits or cracking and replace before the leather pulls away from the stainless core - a failure mid-ride can be unpredictable.
How long does a Trust Equestrian leather gag last?

Like the standard Trust leather bits, the leather is a wear surface and most riders get 6-18 months of regular use before replacement is needed. Care habits (rinse, dry, condition) extend lifespan; harsh chewers shorten it.
Are you an authorised Trust Equestrian dealer in Ireland?

Yes. Equijump Ltd. is an authorised Trust Equestrian dealer in Ireland. Leather gag bits ship direct from Trust's Netherlands production with full manufacturer warranty.
