Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Bar Bit from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Bar Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

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.

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.

Cheekpiece

Driving bits

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Bar Bit are particularly 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 acts more on the tongue.

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