The full cheek gag stimulates the horse to bring its head up. It is often used with horses that run behind the bit and don’t follow the hand as much as necessary. The bit can be used with one or two reins or with pelham straps. In most cases, the bit is used with two reins, one is normally attached to the bit and the other rein to the end of the gag straps. This bit is not suitable for the inexperienced rider.
The leather bits are a remarkable sight in the TRUST equestrian collection. The core of the leather bit is made of reinforced nylon. The leather that is stitched around this core, is naturally tanned without chemicals. The saliva production softens the leather bit and makes it more pleasant for the horse. The flexibility in combination with the taste of the leather, makes the bit particularly suitable for horses with a sensitive mouth.
