Product description
Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore 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 choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight is made of leather and equipped with driving curb sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Driving Curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Leather Bar Liverpool 3-Slots Straight 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 tongue arch 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 is common for agricultural harnesses. It offers two options for rein attachment. If the reins are attached to the lower ring, a leverage effect is achieved. If attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a ring 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. Almost every horse likes the softness and taste of leather. Leather is a pure natural product; it stimulates chewing and 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 relearn to approach the bit confidently.
Care instructions for leather: The mouthpiece should be soaked in cooking oil for a few hours before the 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.
