The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bar Bit is made of Sweet Iron and features driving bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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 Bits

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Straight Bar Bit are especially suitable 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 arch forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post Bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for agricultural harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. When attached in the lower ring, a leverage effect is achieved. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
