Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Port 16mm 13.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 13.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is rather a medium-strong mouthpiece.

Reference 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 selecting 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.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 13.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Cheekpiece

Driving Cheeks

Driving bits like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 13.5 are specifically suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving bits.

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 arch forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post Curb The post curb is also a classic driving curb and commonly used for country harness. It offers two options 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.

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 are designed so that surface rust develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
