Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 2-Slots medium bar 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 14.5

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draught 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the 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 Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 2-Slots Medium Bar 16mm 14.5 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 14.5 are specially suited for the needs of driving horses. There are several types of driving bits.

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 port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for country harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. With attachment 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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were designed so that surface rust develops when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore accept Sweet Iron bits well.
