Liverpool Driving Bit SS Straight Fixed Mouth
Liverpool bits are used with a curb chain or strap, which adds pressure under the horse’s chin when the reins are engaged, enhancing the leverage effect.
Description
Stainless Steel Liverpool Driving Bit with Straight Fixed Port and SS Curb Chain is versatile and commonly used in driving disciplines, including competitive carriage driving and recreational driving. These bits offer a range of leverage options, allowing the driver to adjust the severity and type of pressure applied to the horse’s mouth and poll.
The mouthpiece can vary widely, including options such as straight (mullen mouth), jointed (single or double-jointed), and ported designs. The choice of mouthpiece affects the distribution of pressure on the horse’s tongue, bars, and palate.
The defining feature of Liverpool bits is their long shanks with multiple slots (usually two or three) along each side. These slots allow for different rein placements, which adjust the amount of leverage and curb action.
