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 Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. A mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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 when in 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 curbs, like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5, are specially suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.

Liverpool Curb The Liverpool curb is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb 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 The post curb is also a classic driving curb and commonly used for agricultural harnessing. 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.
