The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters. The 14.5cm mouthpiece size is usually ideal for very large warmbloods.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-thick mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
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
Trust's 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.

Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheekpiece
Driving Curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots Flat Bar 16mm 14.5 are specially suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curbs.
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 arch forward. This forward inclination 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 country harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
