The bit range from Trust Equestrian provides subtle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving curb cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a width of 12.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally well suited for sporty thoroughbreds.
Bit Thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shires 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 check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. These bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses readily accept Sweet Iron bits.

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.
Cheekpiece
Driving Curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 12.5 are specifically suited for the needs of driving horses. There are several types of driving curbs.
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 the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Curb Bit The Post curb bit 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 a leverage effect. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
