Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots flat bar 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 13.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick 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, cold-bloods and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Driving curbs

Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 13.5 are especially suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.

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 arch 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 and is common for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. When attached to the lower ring, a leverage effect is achieved. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.

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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
