Product description
Trust Leather Bar Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Straight 20mm 12.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bits from Trust Equestrian are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Leather Bar Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Straight 20mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:
The bit Trust Leather Bar Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Straight 20mm 12.5 is made of leather and equipped with driving cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 12.5 centimeters.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is normally ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheekpiece
Driving Cheeks
Driving cheeks like the Trust Leather Bar Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Straight 20mm 12.5 are especially suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving cheeks.
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 is commonly used for single 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.
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.
Bit Material
Leather
The acceptance of leather bits is extraordinarily high. Practically every horse "likes" it! Since leather is a natural product, it stimulates salivation and chewing activity. The bit slides 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 absolutely bit-shy usually accept a leather bit gladly and can re-learn to approach the bit with confidence.
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.
