Trust Mouth Balm

Apply the balm with a clean finger or a cloth, onto the corners of the mouth themselves. Do it before tacking up and again after untacking; that makes it a fixed part of your routine rather than something you only reach for when there is a problem.

A balm is no answer to a bit that does not fit. So also check the size, thickness and position of your bit, and have your horse's teeth checked in good time. If you are unsure about the state of your horse's mouth, ask your vet for advice.

Trust gives no storage advice and no warnings. Keep the container closed, dry and out of the sun, and use a clean finger so you do not work sand or hair into the balm.

Choose the Trust Mouth Balm if you ride with a bit every day and want to bring the corners of your horse's mouth into your care routine, at home and at shows. It is a care product for the skin around the mouth, nothing more than that.

If you prefer a greasier, firmer texture or a different size, the Effol mouth butter is an alternative in our range, in apple of 150 ml or banana of 30 ml. If you want one product for the corners of the mouth and the nose, the Julian & Jones Horse HydraFix Lip & Nose balm of 100 ml is the broader choice.

Using a clean finger or a cloth, apply a small amount of balm to the corners of your horse's mouth, before and after riding. Trust describes the balm as suitable for daily care. The brand does not prescribe wiping it off, and gives no storage advice either: keep the container closed, dry and out of the sun.
