Driving Cheeks

Driving bits like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 are specially designed for 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 port forward. This forward inclination relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

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

Mouthpiece

Bar Bits

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

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

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