Cheekpiece

Driving Cheeks

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 11.5 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 pressure on 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. When attached to the lower ring, a leverage effect is achieved. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed to develop surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
