Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features driving curb bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 14.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 14.5cm is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check 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 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.

Cheekpiece

Driving Curbs

Driving curb bits, like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 14.5, are specifically suited for the needs of driving 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 pressure on the bars and acts more 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 leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
