The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 11.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for athletic thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparative 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 selecting 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

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheeks

Driving Bits

Driving bits such as the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bar 16mm 11.5 are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving 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 inclination relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for land 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 ring bit.
