The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 14.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size 14.5cm is normally ideal for very large warmbloods.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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 applies less pressure to 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.

Cheek Piece

Driving Bit

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Single Jointed 16mm 14.5 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 inclination 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 country harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. The lower ring is used for a leverage effect. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
