Known as a Liverpool BE RT Mullen 90 from Bombers Bits, in the US we tend to refer to this style of bit as an Arch Liverpool. Boyd uses a Arch Liverpool to help the horse become more round.
The mouthpiece arches up and is static (not able to rotate), while the swivel cheeks are a traditional Liverpool cheek with Boyd Exell styling.
Boyd Exell recommends this to allow the horse to be rounder and take more contact.
Key Features:
Traditional cheekpiece that allows for three different rein placements.
Mouthpiece Key Feature:
The Mullen is a strong bit which creates direct pressure on the tongue. Used to bring the head down.
Cheekpiece:
The BE Liverpool RT applies both poll pressure and leverage to the mouthpiece. The lower the rein is attached the stronger the leverage and poll pressure will be. Cheek pressure provides additional emphasis to the lateral aids.
The BE Liverpool RT is available with 2 or 3 slots to allow more options for increasing/decreasing pressure. The cheekpiece is not fixed and is able to rotate.
Stocked in a two-slot cheek.
Curb hooks and chains are included.
115 mm is about 4.5" with 9/16" mouthpiece (Pony, not Mini, cheeks)
