Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 12.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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.

Driving curbs

Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 12.5 are specially designed for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.

Liverpool Curb Bit The Liverpool curb bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the tongue arch forward. This forward inclination relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post Curb Bit is also a classic driving curb bit and is commonly used for country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring is used to achieve leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring snaffle.

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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
