The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

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 the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit is also a classic driving curb bit and is commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. In the lower ring, it is buckled to achieve leverage. When buckled in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped to the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit puts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
