About TRUST Leather bits
TRUST Leather mouthpieces combine a flexible, round construction with a naturally tanned leather surface for a warm feel many horses accept quickly. A reinforced nylon core adds stability while the leather softens with saliva for a quiet, confident connection.
Why riders choose Leather
Leather bits can help sensitive horses relax and chew steadily if they dislike the cool feel of bare metal. The smooth surface and gentle give promote acceptance without losing clarity in the aids when fitted and used correctly.
Mouthpiece shapes & cheek options
Pick a straight (Mullen) leather mouthpiece to distribute pressure evenly, or choose subtle profile variations for more tongue room. Match with cheeks that suit your ride: loose ring for mobility, eggbutt or D-ring for stability, and full cheek for added lateral guidance.
Fit & sizing
Measure width between the inside edges of the rings/cheeks with a small amount of clearance at the lips. Select a thickness that matches palate height and tongue volume so the bit sits quietly without crowding.
Care & maintenance
Rinse after use, wipe the leather gently and let it air-dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives. Inspect frequently for tooth marks or cracks and replace if the surface is damaged.
