The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Double Jointed Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Double Jointed Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.

Bit thickness

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

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Bit material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars, and 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.

Cheekpiece

Driving bits

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Double Jointed Bit 16mm 12.5 are specially suited 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 tilt relieves the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for agricultural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. The lower ring is used to achieve leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring bit.
