Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots French Bar 16mm 14.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.
Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots French Bar 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

Driving curbs
Driving curbs like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots French Bar 16mm 14.5 are specially designed for 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 tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Curb The post curb is also a classic driving curb and common for single harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. The lower ring is used for leverage. If the reins are attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a ring 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 effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit Material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust develops when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
