Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Flat Bar Bit

Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Straight Bar Bit

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a moderately 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-bloods and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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 palate.

The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Straight Bar Bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Straight Bar Bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Cheek Piece

Driving Cheeks

Driving cheeks, like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots Straight Bar Bit, are particularly suitable for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving cheeks.

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 port 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 is commonly used for single harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits were developed in such a way that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
