The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Single Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Single Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb bit side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point. This makes it a moderately thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and 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 on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Manufacturer information

Trust Equestrian

The Dutch bit manufacturer Trust Equestrian is characterized by innovation and craftsmanship. With the Inno Sense and Sweet Iron series, they are breaking new ground. The products are continuously developed by Trust's technical teams and strictly controlled for quality.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Side piece

Driving Curb Bit

Driving curb bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Single Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.

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 port 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 country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. With attachment in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
