The bit TRUST'ed by WINNERS
Share
TRUST Equestrian is a modern Dutch company founded by the van Riel brothers. Specifically Teun van Riel started the dream by selling bits at horse shows from his mobile shop. Teun listened to the riders at shows and wanted to create a brand that meets their needs and truly something special. Teun partnered with his brother Bas and TRUST Equestrian was founded.
