Product description
Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots High Port 16mm 12.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. This makes it a moderately strong 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 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 utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to present the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots High Port 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

Driving bits like the Trust Sweet Iron Liverpool Bit 3-Slots High Port 16mm 12.5 are specially suited to 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 port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and acts more on the tongue.
Post Bit The Post bit is also a classic driving bit and is commonly used for rural harness. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attaching in the lower ring provides leverage. When attached in 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 have been developed to create surface rust when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
