Trust Leather Curbgag Bit: Precision and Comfort for Strong Horses
The Trust Leather Curbgag Bit combines the effectiveness of a curb gag with a unique design, offering pressure on the lower jaw and chin instead of the traditional pressure behind the ears, as with a pulley snaffle bit. The cord runs under the chin, while the cheekpieces attach to the extra ring at the top. This configuration makes the Curbgag bit particularly effective for strong or hot horses, and it is widely used by show jumpers to maintain better control.
What sets the Trust Leather Curbgag Bit apart is its leather construction, a unique feature in the TRUST equestrian collection. The core of the bit is made from reinforced nylon, ensuring durability and strength. The leather is naturally tanned, free from chemicals, and stitched around the core for a comfortable yet sturdy fit. Over time, the leather softens with the horse’s saliva, making the bit more pleasant and comfortable to use.
The combination of flexibility and the natural taste of the leather makes this bit particularly suitable for horses with sensitive mouths. As the leather softens, it creates a more forgiving and comfortable experience for the horse, improving acceptance and communication during rides.
