The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar Bit 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar Bit 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and features driving curb bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for very large warmbloods.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

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

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 were developed in such a way that surface rust forms upon 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 Curb Bits

Driving curb bits such as the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots French Straight Bar Bit 16mm 14.5 are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.

Liverpool Bit The Liverpool bit is a classic driving bit and offers several possibilities 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 port 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 curb bit and is commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
