The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features Liverpool cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, draft horses 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. As a result, horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 has a joint in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Cheekpiece

Liverpool Bit

Liverpool bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 are specially suited for the needs of driving horses. There are several types of Liverpool bits.

Liverpool Bit The Liverpool bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool 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 pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Bit The post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching the reins to the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
