Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 11.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 11.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and especially large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shires 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 the palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 11.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Driving bits

Driving bits like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 11.5 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 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 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 country harness. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. The lower ring is used for a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.

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.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were 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.
