Product description
Trust Bit Leather Mouthpiece Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 14.5
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. So, it is rather a thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers 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 most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Mouthpiece Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Cheekpiece
Driving curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Leather Mouthpiece Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 20mm 14.5 are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.
Liverpool Curb The Liverpool curb is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Curb The Post curb is also a classic driving curb and commonly used for country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring provides leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
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.
Bit Material
Leather
Leather as a bit material is very readily accepted by many horses. Virtually every horse "likes" it! Leather is a pure natural product, it stimulates chewing activity and also salivation. 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 completely resistant to bits usually readily accept a leather bit and can learn to approach the bit confidently again.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked 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.
