Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 13.5 centimeters. This mouthpiece size is generally a good fit for a normal warmblood.
Bit thickness
The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. It is therefore a rather 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 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
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been 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
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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek piece
Driving Bits
Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots French Straight Bar 16mm 13.5 are particularly suitable 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 tilt relieves the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for country driving. 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.
