Driving Curb Bits

Driving curb bits like the Sprenger Liverpool Curb Bit, Stainless Steel, Solid Mouthpiece 16mm are especially suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.

Liverpool Curb Bit The Liverpool curb bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the tongue arch forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit is also a classic driving curb bit and commonly used for country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
