Trust Leather eggbutt straight -20

Leather

The leather bits from the TRUST collection are a standout choice for horses with sensitive mouths. Hand-stitched around a reinforced nylon core, these bits are tanned without the use of chemicals, ensuring a natural, safe option for your horse. The unique round construction, combined with the softness that saliva brings, allows the leather mouthpiece to form to your horse’s mouth, creating a comfortable and flexible fit. This makes them especially popular with mares, who often find the taste of the leather particularly appealing and accept the bit with ease.

Care Advice: To keep the leather supple and in top condition, apply edible vegetable oil regularly. This helps maintain the softness and flexibility of the mouthpiece over time.

Note: The stitches should always point to the outside whilst using the bit. So not towards the tongue.

Every horse is different, and selecting the right bit plays a key role in comfort, communication, and performance. A properly fitted bit prevents pressure points, slipping, and discomfort—helping your horse stay soft, responsive, and confident in the contact.

Eggbut

The Eggbutt cheekpiece is one of the most stable bit side pieces available. Its fixed rings keep the bit steady in the horse’s mouth, providing a consistent position and a relatively direct connection between the rider’s hand and the horse’s mouth. The design also prevents pinching of the lips, making bit guards unnecessary.
