Trust Hackamore Combi Short Leather 20mm
The Hackamore Combi short cheekpiece is a combination of a Hackamore with a bit. The Hackamore Combi distributes the pressure over the mouth and nose. The greater the leverage effect, the bigger the impact. The TRUST Hackamore combinations all have an adjustable screw above the mouthpiece. The lower the screw, the more pressure on the nose. This combination with short shanks has less impact than the long Hackamore Combi. The curb strap should be properly adjusted (not loose, not too tight but just right), so that the nosepiece is well-fitted and stays in place. The cheekpiece is attached to the rectangular part.
The leather bits are a remarkable appearance in the TRUST collection. The leather is stitched manually around the reinforced nylon core and is tanned without chemicals. Also, the round construction is unique. Saliva makes the leather mouthpiece soften, after which it forms to the horse’s mouth. The flexible effect in combination with the taste of the leather makes the bit extremely suitable for horses with sensitive mouths.
Note: Make sure that the stitching always faces the outside of the mouth, when the bit is used. Unlike metal mouthpieces, leather mouthpieces are softer. This is what most horses like about these mouthpieces. When the mouthpiece is properly placed on the layers, damage to the mouthpiece is quite unlikely, but not impossible due to sharp edges on the teeth for example.
Maintenance: You keep it supple by applying butter to it regularly.
