The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Single-Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb bit cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The 13.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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 were designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

Driving Curb Bit

Driving curb bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Single-Jointed Bit 16mm 13.5 are specially suited to the needs of driving horses. There are several types of driving curb 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 tongue arch 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 curb bit and commonly used for country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching to the lower ring creates leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
