Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high bar 16mm 11.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength mouthpiece.
Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draught horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.
When selecting 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 the palate.
Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots High Bar 16mm 11.5 bit from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots High Bar 16mm 11.5 bit is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a width of 11.5 centimetres.

The mouthpiece size 11.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.
Cheek piece
Driving bits
Driving bits such as the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots High Bar 16mm 11.5 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 has a greater effect on the tongue.
Post bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and commonly used for agricultural harnesses. It offers two options for rein attachment. The lower ring is used to create leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
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.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed 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.
