The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporting thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a medium-strong 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, draft 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

Driving bits

Driving bits such as the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 12.5 are specially suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving 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 the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for rural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.
