The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Leather Bar Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Leather Bar Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bit is made of leather and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.
When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit Material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. As leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thus increasing well-being. Leather mouthpieces are usually vegetable-tanned and hand-stitched.
Our leather mouthpiece is particularly suitable for young and extremely sensitive horses. Even horses that are completely resistant to bits usually accept a leather bit gladly and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should soak in cooking oil for a few hours before first use. Repeat this process as soon as the leather appears dry. Before each use, you should briefly soak it in clear water and clean it thoroughly after use, as saliva can erode the leather.

Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek Piece
Driving Bits
Driving bits like the Trust Leather Bar Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bit are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving bits.
Liverpool Bit The Liverpool bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the tongue port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for driving in-hand. It offers two options for rein attachment. In the lower ring, it is buckled to achieve a leverage effect. When buckled in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
