The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 11.5 is made of leather and equipped with driving bit side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! As leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit glides easily in the mouth, thereby 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 bit-shy usually readily accept a leather bit and can learn to confidently approach the bit 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
Straight bar bits
A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Side piece
Driving bits
Driving bits like the Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 11.5 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 arch forward. This forward inclination relieves the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.
Post bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for rural harnesses. It offers two options for rein attachment. The lower ring is used to create leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.
