The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Double Jointed 16mm 11.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The bit has a size of 11.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheek Piece

Driving Bits

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Double Jointed 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 options 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 inclination relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Bit The post bit is also a classic driving bit and is common for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching the reins to the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
