The Trust Equestrian development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with driving bit cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a ported bar. The bit has a size of 13.5 centimeters. The mouthpiece size of 13.5cm is usually ideal for smaller and normal warmbloods.
Bit thickness
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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, draft 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and palate.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
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.

Mouthpiece
Ported bar bits
A ported bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A ported bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Cheek piece
Driving bits
Driving bits like the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Liverpool 3-Slots high port 16mm 13.5 are especially 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 is commonly used for country harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates a leverage effect. With attachment in the upper ring, this leverage effect is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
