Cheek Piece

Driving Cheeks

Driving cheeks like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Double Jointed 16mm 13.5 are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving cheeks.

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

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

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped to the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on horses 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.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed in such a way that surface rust develops upon contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
